Argillaceous (i.e. clay-rich) media are being considered in many Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) member countries as potential host rocks for the long-term, safe, near-surface or at-depth disposal of rad...
All national radioactive waste management authorities recognise today that a robust safety case is essential in developing disposal facilities for radioactive waste. To improve the robustness of the ...
Large quantities of materials arising from the decommissioning of nuclear facilities are non-radioactive per se. An additional significant share of materials is of very low-level or low-level radioac...
