This report presents a collective opinion of the Radioactive Waste Management Committee of the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency (OECD/NEA) and of the International Radioactive Waste Management Advisory Com...

The analysis of the long-term safety of radioactive waste disposal systems requires the use of mathematical models and scenarios that simulate repository behavior in response to future events. This r...

Many different estimates for the cost of radioactive waste disposal in geological repositories have been published. This study, aimed at the general reader, illustrates why the published cost estimat...

Uranium orebodies contain a wide range of radionuclides and heavy metals of direct interest to waste repository design, including actinides, radium isotopes, lead isotopes and rare earth elements, as...

This study updates the 1985 NEA report and presents a comprehensive analysis of the individual and total costs of the nuclear fuel cycle for a pressurised water reactor (PWR) to be commissioned in th...

The development of radiation protection and of nuclear safety concepts have been somewhat separate. Traditionally, radiation protection has mainly focused on the protection of workers and members of ...

The workshop was aimed at providing a structured forum whereby implementors, regulators and scientists could interact, contribute to the advancement of the state of the art in this area, discuss the ...

An evaluation of the occurrence of fluid flow through faults and fractures is of primary importance for the performance assessment of radioactive waste repositories located in argillaceous settings.

GEOTRAP is the OECD/NEA Project on Radionuclide Migration in Geologic, Heterogeneous Media carried out in the context of site characterisation and evaluation and safety assessment of deep repository ...

Nirex has responsibilities for nuclear waste management in the UK. The company’s top level scientific objectives are to maintain technical credibility in deep disposal, to gain public acceptance for ...

The NEA Radioactive Waste Management Committee (RWMC) is a forum of senior operators, regulators, policy makers, and senior representatives of R&D institutions in the field of radioactive waste manag...

This overview of decontamination techniques is based on the results of the previously mentioned questionnaire, which was received, reviewed and summarised for this report by the Task Group. The infor...
