The OECD/NEA Working Group on the Characterisation, the Understanding and the Performance of Argillaceous Rocks as Repository Host Formations, namely the “Clay Club”, examines the various argillaceou...

The Expert Group on Characterisation Methodology of Unconventional and Legacy Waste (EGCUL) was established under the Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) Radioactive Waste Management Committee (RWMC) and it ...

The goal of EGCUL is to share state-of-the-art knowledge and experience in characterising a large amount of unknown waste derived from nuclear accidents and past nuclear activities.

The definition of the chemical and isotopic composition of the groundwater present in argillaceous formations, which are considered as potential host rocks for radioactive waste disposal, is crucial ...

Radiological characterisation is a key enabling activity for the planning and implementation of nuclear facility decommissioning. Effective characterisation allows the extent, location and nature of ...
