EXPERT ROUNDTABLE: Progress in HLW management and the sustainability of nuclear energy, 12 November 2020
放射性廃棄物は、医療・産業・研究・発電など幅広い活動から発生する。このような廃棄物はすべて、人の健康と環境の保護を最優先して安全に管理しなくてはならない。何十年にも及ぶ研究活動を経て、国際科学界は今では、高レベル放射性廃棄物を深地層最終処分場(DGR)に定置することが安全かつ効果的であると確信するに至っている。各国政府は、それぞれが最良であると信じるエネルギー・環境政策を実施する絶対的な権利と責...
