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...

The Probabilistic System Assessment Group (PSAG) was established by the RWMC in January 1985 (originally under a different name) to help co-ordinate the development in OECD member countries of probab...

Regulators are major stakeholders in the decision-making process for radioactive waste management. The NEA Radioactive Waste Management Committee (RWMC) has recognised the value of exchanging and com...

This overview presents an easily accessible synopsis of the regulatory control of radioactive waste management in 15 NEA member countries. It covers the management of radioactive waste from all types...

Of all the institutional actors in the field of long-term radioactive waste management (RWM), it is perhaps the regulatory authorities that have restyled their roles most significantly. Modern societ...

This report examines the roles that storage plays, or might play, in radioactive waste management in OECD/NEA member countries. A better understanding of these roles provides valuable input to curren...

This document describes the proceedings of an IGSC International Symposium held at the OECD Conference Centre, Paris France on 7-9 October 2013. The purpose of this symposium was to assess the practi...

This Strategic Plan is intended to guide the NEA as it seeks to meet the evolving needs of member countries in the application and exploration of nuclear science and technology. The plan includes an ...

The OECD Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) Strategic Plan serves as a guiding instrument that reflects the priorities of its member countries as the Agency addresses evolving needs in the exploration and a...

The Thermochemical Database (TDB) Project develops a reference database of chemical thermodynamic values for elements and compounds relevant to the safety of radioactive waste repositories and vital ...

Building and maintaining trust in organisations is a common concern among institutions with activities that involve the management of hazardous materials or contaminated sites, or have the potential ...

As part of its activities, the Regulators’ Forum of the NEA Radioactive Waste Management Committee has been examining the regulatory criteria for the long-term performance of geological disposal. In ...

放射性廃棄物の地下処分プログラムでは、処分場設計に用いる地層科学パラメータの不確実性や長期安全性が問題となる。誰もが受け入れられる安全な放射性廃棄物処分プログラムを構築するためには、実施主体、規制側、研究者、政治家、一般市民の間で活発な議論を行い、URL などの地下施設を建設して、岩盤の特性調査、試験、技術開発、実証活動を計画・実施していく必要がある。
このような中、本資料では 2001 年に発行...

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...
