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...
National radioactive waste management programmes are in various phases of siting facilities and rely on distinct technical approaches for different categories of waste. In all cases, it is necessary ...

The NEA Clay Club has been gathering the key geoscientific characteristics of the various argillaceous formations that are – or have been – studied in NEA member countries in the context of radioacti...
The OECD/NEA Working Group on the Characterisation, the Understanding and the Performance of Argillaceous Rocks as Repository Host Formations, namely the “Clay Club”, examines the various argillaceou...
Radioactive waste management is the safe treatment, storage and disposal of liquid, solid and gas discharge from nuclear industry operations with the goal of protecting people and the environment.
The diversity in classification schemes across countries has restricted the possibility of comparing waste inventories and led to difficulties in interpreting waste management practices, both nationa...
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...
