Over the past two decades the NEA, on behalf of requesting countries, has regularly organised international peer reviews of national safety reports in the field of geological disposal of radioactive waste. The present document is a questionnaire to be distributed to the relevant reviewee at the beginning of the review process. It helps provide a first check on status regarding the current, international collective learning of what is important in a safety case for disposal, with emphasis on safety assessment. The questionnaire is meant to help start the review process in an efficient manner and to provide a common basis to the peer reviews of disposal safety cases organised by the Agency.
