The OECD Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) Forum on Stakeholder Confidence (FSC) Annotated Glossary is a review of concepts central to societal decision making about radioactive waste management. It record...

In the area of radioactive waste management, the regulator or safety authority has emerged in recent years as a principal actor in the eyes of civil society. This study shows how regulators are incre...

An important activity of the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) in the field of radioactive waste management is the organisation of independent, international peer reviews of national studies and proje...

Safety assessment is an interdisciplinary approach that focuses on the scientific understanding and performance assessment of safety functions as well as the hazards associated with a geological disp...

Sweden is at the forefront among countries developing plans for a deep geological repository of highly radioactive waste. There is no such repository in operation yet worldwide, but Sweden, Finland a...

A central safety function of radioactive waste disposal repositories is the prevention or sufficient retardation of radionuclide migration to the biosphere. Performance assessment exercises in variou...

La solution la plus communément adoptée en matière de gestion définitive des déchets radioactifs de haute activité consiste à placer ces déchets dans des centres de stockage en couche géologique prof...

Disposal in engineered facilities built in stable, deep geological formations is the reference solution for permanently isolating long-lived radioactive waste from the human biosphere. This managemen...

Cost estimation for the decommissioning of nuclear facilities can vary considerably in format, content and practice both within and across countries. These differences may have legitimate reasons but...

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...

Alla långsiktiga projekt för hantering av radioaktivt avfall pågår sannolikt i årtionden eller århundraden. Projektet kräver en fysisk plats och det kommer att påverka det omgivande samhället på en r...

En ansenlig internationell erfarenhet som inhämtats under de senaste 20 åren visar att kärntekniska anläggningar kan rivas och avvecklas på ett säkert sätt när ett beslut väl fattats att avsluta drif...

Les programmes nationaux de gestion des déchets radioactifs se trouvent à des phases diverses dans la recherche de sites d’implantation d’installations et se fondent sur des approches techniques dist...

À toutes les phases du cycle du combustible nucléaire, mais aussi lorsque l’on utilise des substances radioactives dans l’industrie, la recherche et en médecine, on produit des déchets radioactifs. L...

Radioactive waste is associated with all phases of the nuclear fuel cycle as well as the use of radioactive materials in medicine, research and industry. For the most hazardous and long-lived waste, ...

Disposal of high-level radioactive waste and spent nuclear fuel in engineered facilities, or repositories, located deep underground in suitable geological formations is being developed worldwide as t...

L’expérience internationale considérable accumulée au cours des 20 dernières années nous montre que les installations nucléaires peuvent être démantelées dans des conditions de sûreté, puis déclassée...

La thématique de ce 7e atelier du Forum sur la confiance des parties prenantes (FSC) concernait la mise en œuvre du programme français de gestion des déchets de haute activité et de moyenne activité ...
