The NEA Integration Group for the Safety Case (IGSC) has been organising a series of symposia focusing on the development of a competent and robust safety case since 2007, in co‑operation with other international organisations.
Scope
The symposium focuses on the technical aspects of the safety case for the post‑closure phase of deep geological repositories. The interplay of technical feasibility, engineering design issues, operational and post‑closure safety and non‑technical challenges such as safety case communication are explored.
Objective
The main objective of this symposium is to share practical experiences on preparing, developing, documenting and reviewing a safety case from both, the implementers' and reviewers' perspectives. Others include:
