National programmes would benefit from a shared and broad-based understanding at the international level of the reversibility and retrievability concepts and of the related oppor...

Deep geological repositories of radioactive waste are designed and licensed based on a model of long-term safety which does not require the active presence of man. During the period of stepwise devel...

This is the final draft of a brochure to be published in December 2011 by the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency Radioactive Waste Management Committee (RWMC) (in English and in French). This interim file is...

The most widely adopted solution for the definitive management of high-level radioactive waste involves its emplacement in deep geological repositories whose safety should not depend on the active pr...

This document presents an overview of findings, positions, boundary conditions and issues based on the results of the R&R project of 2007-2011 and of the Reims conference held in December 2010.

At its March 2007 meeting, the RWMC agreed to start an initiative on reversibility and retrievability (R&R), with a particular focus on policy and regulatory issues. The R&R initiative is being carri...
