Radioactive waste management is the safe treatment, storage and disposal of liquid, solid and gas discharge from nuclear industry operations with the goal of protecting people and the environment.
The EGRRS supports NEA member countries to optimise the development of national radioactive waste management and decommissioning programmes through the application of robotic and remote systems.
Established in 2014, the WGDECOM unites 19 experts from 12 countries in developing a process to better share radiological protection data.
