On January 16th, Andra submitted the construction licence application (DAC) of Cigeo, the French project for the deep geological disposal facility for the most highly radioactive waste. This is a […]
In December 2018, a revised UK consent based GDF siting policy was finalised. In this talk, Dr Rob Winsley of Nuclear Waste Services’, will explain recent progress that has been […]
The IAEA actively supports the sustainable, safe, secure, reliable, and economic management of spent fuel by providing its Member States (MSs) with relevant technical information and guidance based on operational […]
Background information Geomechanics plays a significant role in the understanding of the multiphysics and multiscale processes taking place in a geological disposal facility for radioactive waste. The objective of the […]
Introduction EURAD and PREDIS are organising a joint Summer School on Waste Acceptance Criteria (WAC) for radioactive waste. During this five day Summer School, participants will learn about the basics […]
A school on models in support of nuclear data will be organized by the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission in collaboration with the SCK CEN Academy for Nuclear Science and Technology. […]
The International Conference on Radioactive Waste Management and Environmental Remediation (ICEM®) 2023 is scheduled for October 3-6, 2023 at the International Conference Centre Stuttgart in Stuttgart, Germany. This event promotes […]
About the workshop During times of war, licensees of nuclear and radiation technology facilities may be unable to meet regulatory safety requirements designed for peacetime. This challenge has arisen in […]
In this talk, Virginie Solans will present the role of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) in a nuclear waste management context and explain how ANNs are reshaping conventional methods. ANNs are […]
Based on the huge volume of raw and processed information (here grouped as “knowledge”) to be handled in a national geological disposal programme, it is no longer a question of […]
The Lunch&Learn session organized by CORI is summarizing main information relevant in the context of this workpackage. Aim is to introduce (i) the basic scientific facts and concepts underlying this […]
Introduction The EURAD guidance work package (WP12) aims at developing a comprehensive suite of instructional guidance documents that can be used by EU Member-States and associated countries with radioactive waste […]
Description A successful strategy for radioactive waste disposal should address both technical and societal needs, and monitoring has the potential to contribute to both of these aspects. Monitoring during repository […]
All analytical results of an analysis come (or should come) with an uncertainty. This uncertainty, the “plus/minus number”, is often just taken for granted by the user of the results, […]

Addressing uncertainties is an essential part of Safety Cases for geologic disposal facilities. An important instrument for doing so is sensitivity analysis (SA), by which the impact of input parameter […]
Management of knowledge, information and data can be a challenge in radioactive waste disposal and decommissioning. Planning, construction, operation and closure of a repository involves large volumes of information over […]
Description Even though the feasibility and safety of established container solutions has been demonstrated, recent progress in understanding of materials and processes has shown that optimisation of container manufacturing and […]
Training aims to share knowledge gained through each domain insight (DI) with project partners, EUGs, Students and whomever might be interested in the work of the PREDIS project. Within the […]
