The Nuclear Energy Agency carried out an independent peer review of Japan’s siting process and criteria for the geological disposal of high-level radioactive waste in May 2016. The review concluded t...
Robotics and remote systems (RRS) are essential technologies for work in the radiation environments typically encountered in the nuclear back-end, such as in radioactive waste management and decommis...
How can knowledge of high-level radioactive waste existence, nature and history be passed on to future generations? The NEA Expert Group on Awareness Preservation (EGAP) has been focusing on this que...
The Integration Group for the Safety Case (IGSC) was established in 2000 by the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) Radioactive Waste Management Committee (RWMC) in recognition of the need for continued...
Radioactive waste is disposed of in a repository developed at suitable depth, surrounded by barriers, depending on its character. Safety assessments are conducted for periods depending on half-lives....
Radioactive waste repositories are designed to isolate waste from the living environment without human intervention over extended periods of time. Nevertheless, the intention is not to abandon the re...
On 17-18 May, experts in radioactive waste management, local stakeholders and non-technical actors convened in Bern, Switzerland, for the IGSC and FSC workshop on the safety case.
