On Saturday, April 22, 2017, the third annual Day Against Repository is being held, this year under the auspices of the newly established Platform Against Deep Repository, which currently brings together 22 municipalities and 11 associations. In all seven sites in the Czech Republic, where the Radioactive Waste Repository Authority (RAWRA) is siting a locality for a permanent deep geological repository, there are being held joint actions, such as protest marches, marathon, planting trees, public debates, film screening and other events. Mayors and residents of the affected municipalities want to draw attention to their firm opposition to the approach of state authorities, which might result in disposal of high-level radioactive waste, dangerous for thousands of generations, underneath their homes.
