HABOG

HABOG is a dry storage facility operated by COVRA in Netherlands. Its capacity is not publicly disclosed.

A single above-ground building holding all Dutch high-level waste and spent fuel, designed for at least a hundred years of storage. It is painted orange and repainted progressively paler as the radioactivity decays — the building is a deliberate public instrument as much as a store.
