Siting a radioactive waste management facility is the most difficult of the many siting controversies. In general, the main reasons for siting controversy are spatial, temporal, and group inequalities as well as a lack of democratic procedures in closed top-down siting methods. Siting radioactive waste management facilities in Korea and Sweden can be very good and important examples showing all of these conflicts. The successl factors in both cases are resolution of the inequality problem through compensation, boosting voluntarism by local governments with an open approach, using competition between local governments, and risk communication policy considering the familiarity of local residents. In Korea, the low and intermediate level radioactive waste management facility has been selected. However, the siting problem for the high level one is still ongoing. Considering this situation, the Sweden case of more advanced siting procedures, will give very good lessons to Korea.clos
