At the NEA's Integration Group for the Safety Case's (IGSC) fourth meeting, held in Paris, France on 6 November 2002, a topical session on The Potential Impacts on Repository Safety from Potential Partitioning and Transmutation Programme was conducted. The aim was to gain a balanced picture of the potential impact of future fuel cycles on geological disposal, on its pillars of safety in short and long-term performance, and to discuss in what directions future coordination-work could go. This report presents a synthesis of the various oral presentations and the discussions and exchanges during the session as well as a compilation of the written contributions. It is intended to provide a state of the art overview of the different aspects of P&T strategies on repository long-term performance and safety.
