The NEA Radioactive Waste Management Committee (RWMC) is a forum of senior operators, regulators, policy makers, and senior representatives of R&D institutions in the field of radioactive waste management. The committee assists member countries by providing objective guidance on the solution of radioactive waste problems, and promotes safety in the short- and long-term management of radioactive waste.
This report identifies some of the major challenges currently faced by national waste management programmes, and describes the strategic areas in which the RWMC should focus its efforts in future years.
