As for \"-synpunkt\" (there is one \"s\" too many in your text), it is a deliberately vague suffix used in bureaucratic Swedish, like \"-hänseende\", \"-avseende\", \"-mässigt\". Some English equivalents are \"in view of...\", \"in terms of...\", \"when it comes to...\", \"regarding...\", \"for ... purposes\", and \"from a ... perspective\".

They are saying \"Statens kärnkraftinspektion has approved/granted the request/application, on the grounds that this alternative is the best one available in the foreseeable future in terms of security and controlling the spread of [plutonium, nuclear warheads, MOX, or other generally nasty stuff of nuclear origin which may be abused for various evil designs].

  -> Thank you.
neutral  EKM: Yes, hard to tell from the context - MOX can be used by terrorists to produce primitive nuclear weapons (without fission occuring, the waste can be dispersed), but naturally the text may refer to the handling hazard as well.
