Many countries are developing a geological disposal project to dispose of their high-level radioactive waste (HLW), potentially their intermediate, long-lived radioactive waste (ILW-LL) as well as spent nuclear fuel (SF) when considered as waste. The most widely selected option, for which a site selection process is underway in several countries or even achieved, is the […]

Next free webinar and discussion group on Radioactive Waste Characterisation - overcoming challenges with new technologies. Tuesday October 5 from 9-12 CEST. PREDIS project, event registration: https://lnkd.in/gkqxNEH

This Lunch & Learn session will be presented by Manuel MARTIN-RAMOS (JRC). Manuel Martín Ramos (Madrid, 1970) has 25 years of experience in nuclear safety, management of spent fuel and decommissioning  both in the industry and research areas. Since 2012 he serves in the Euratom Coordination Unit in the JRC Headquarters in Brussels. Manuel was […]

EC directive 2011/70/Euratom acknowledges that disposal is the end-point for radioactive waste and spent fuel, which implies that all member states must prepare a credible disposal strategy. The chosen disposal strategy can be implementation of a national disposal facility but also participation in a multinational repository (MNR). Only the first option is currently being implemented, […]

The Implementing Geological Disposal of radioactive waste Technology Platform (IGD-TP) is dedicated to initiating and carrying out European strategic initiatives to facilitate the stepwise implementation of safe, deep geological disposal of spent fuel, high-level waste and other long-lived radioactive waste.  It aims to address the remaining scientific, technological and social challenges, and support European waste management programmes. […]

Welcome to join the free PREDIS online webinars and discussion forums on technical topics related to innovation and technology needs in pre-disposal radioactive waste management. This webinar will focus on how to provide long-term solutions for the management of radioactive solid organic wastes through thermal treatments and immobilisation with conventional or novel binders. To register, […]

Knowledge Management (KM) is quite a recent concept, having come to prominence during 1990s, however become an essential part of Management in all Nuclear Organizations. Since nuclear knowledge is unique, without diligence in managing such knowledge, substantial portion of it could be lost due to personnel retirements or could be disused as a result of […]

Welcome to join the free PREDIS online webinars and discussion forums on technical topics related to innovation and technology needs in pre-disposal radioactive waste management. This webinar will focus on getting the most from optimised characterisation, efficient decontamination and advanced conditioning of both ferrous and more reactive metallic wastes.

Learn more about NEA’s IGSC or the Integration Group for the Safety Case. IGSC is the main technical advisory body to the Radioactive Waste Management Committee (RWMC) on the deep geological disposal, particularly for long-lived and high-level radioactive waste. It was established in 2000 in recognition of the need to foster full integration of all […]

Pursuant to the Site Selection Act of 2017, on Monday, September 28th, the BGE has published its interim report on identified sub-areas which can be expected to have a favourable overall geological situation for the safe disposal of high-level radioactive waste. The three host rock types salt rock, clay stone an crystalline rock have been […]

Welcome to join this “Lunch & Learn” session to hear about the new EU project PREDIS, including 47 partners from 17 countries developing innovations for more efficient and safe treatment of LILW streams. Hear about the cooperation planned between PREDIS and EURAD on issues such as waste acceptance criteria, strategic research agendas and knowledge management. […]

During this CHANCE Topical Day (organized on March 21, 2019) the current needs, scientific evolutions and CHANCE hightlights concerning conditioned waste characterization using non-destructive techniques was highlighted. The selected speakers have either operational experience with conditioned waste characterization, or are scientists working on new characterization techniques. This Topical Day therefore also aimed at bringing together […]
