SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn | The role of Knowledge Management in Civil Society
DESCRIPTION:In this Lunch and Learn session we will talk about the role of the Knowledge Management in Civil Society. How KM initiatives support CS and what is the benefit of KM for individuals and society in general. This presentation will cover many KM goals which are supported by EURAD SoK activities. Thus\, one of the goals of KM is transparency of knowledge the EURAD SoK puts many efforts to provide EURAD Community with wide access to knowledge generated in RWM.\nThe EURAD programme includes interactions with Civil Society (ICS) based on a so-called “double-wing” model that have been settled on and tested throughout SITEX II and JOPRAD projects\, notably in the perspective of the EURAD programme. After reminding the main elements of the ICS model implemented in EURAD\, the presentation will include feedbacks and lessons learnt from the ICS activities implemented regarding knowledge management. It will present results coming from strategic projects (ROUTES\, UMAN)\, from ICS workshop\, from the evaluation process of ICS activities and other activities (follow-up by civil society of technical projects). As a conclusion\, the presentation will draw main messages and recommendations for future knowledge management in EURAD. \nSpeaker: Dinara Abbasova and Nadja Zeleznik \nClick here to view the recording of this Lunch & Learn session. \nClick here to view all Lunch & Learn sessions.

SUMMARY:EURAD Training Course on Safety Case Development and Review
DESCRIPTION:Background information\nEURAD WP13 in cooperation with NEA\, IGD TP and SITEX.Network would like to invite you to participate in the EURAD Training Course on Safety Case Development and Review.\nEvery national programme dealing with radioactive waste management is obliged to develop the safety case in relation to the radioactive waste facility and related licensing processes.  A safety case is generally understood as a collection of safety evidence and arguments demonstrating the safety of the facility and related management process throughout its lifetime.\nThe modern concept of the safety case was introduced in radioactive waste disposal in the 1990s by the NEA Expert Group on Integrated Performance Assessment (IPAG).  Afterwards\, the concept has been further developed by the Integration Group for the Safety Case (IGSC) as well as by the IAEA and national RWM programmes. In the present\, the establishing a long-term safety case for geological disposal is widely adopted practice by the radioactive waste management community\, in particular WMOs\, TSOs and regulatory authorities.\nThe wide spectrum of different stakeholders is engaged along RW facility life cycle\, including public representatives/experts. In order to ensure the highest possible level of safety of RW facility and to avoid its harmful impact on environment also involvement of research entities is necessary in the process as they mostly ensure necessary R&D.\nEven though that this training course is preferably dealing with deep geological disposal some commonalities can be found with other kind of disposal options as\, e.g. near surface disposal facility. The training course aims at providing a good base also for programmes not intending to construct DGR but considering near surface disposal\, as SIMS\, in particular to gather information on the approach and strategies to scenarios development and uncertainties management. \nTraining aims\nThe aim of the training course is that participants will master their theoretical knowledge and will learn more about safety case objectives\, strategy of its development\, context and components\, documentation and\, about the different aspects involved in the safety case process. The role of R&D’s will be discussed together with role of different stakeholders and safety case communication. They will learn why having a robust safety case for a radioactive waste disposal facility is crucial. Furthermore\, they will learn about the different steps from safety case development\, over review to implementation and safety requests settlement based on real life examples of safety case practise from advanced programmes. The lectures will be completed with practical exercise in supporting safety case understanding by different stakeholders.\nThe training aims at providing knowledge and expertise of main actors engaged in safety case process to provide participants the whole picture of safety case issue. In order to fulfil this objective\, there will be engaged the lecturers from the IGD TP representing disposal repository implementor and safety case developer\, SITEX.Network experts representing regulatory body and their TSOs\, both ensuring safety case review and also experienced in public communication. The theoretical base of the safety case will be introduced by NEA experts engaged in the IGSC having also practical experience with safety case implementation in their national programmes. \nDuring this training course the participants will learn what a safety case entails when related to radioactive waste disposal facility\, for which phase facility lifecycle the licensing process is essential\, how it is developed and how and by whom it is reviewed. These theoretical lectures are complemented by real life examples for a case study implementation from advanced programme. In addition to EURAD\, the lecturers are given by subject matter experts from different organizations: OECD/NEA\, IGD-TP and the SITEX. Network. \nThe one-week training is built on three parts: \n\nGeneric safety case development presented by experts from the OECD/NEA\, IGSC\, in cooperation with EURAD experts. The focus will be on theoretical bases of safety case development\, in particular on safety case for DGR\, specific aspects of safety case\, safety assessment as a key element of the safety case. Special lecture will be done on the role and management of uncertainties in safety case. The communication with stakeholders will be discussed.\nSafety case review introduced by SITEX.Network will provide regulatory expectation for safety case together with evolving safety case expectation moving from conceptualization to the implementation. The safety case review preparation will be presented. These lectures will be completed with practical feedback from French safety case review. The special tool developed by SITEX enabling better understanding of RWM and safety case by different stakeholders\, especially public will be presented.\nThe experience of WMO with implementation of safety case will be addressed by IGD-TP lecturers. The practical examples from advanced programmes will be presented\, in particular the development of SKB safety case within Swedish programme\, the baselines of safety case from German programme and experience from Finish programme on the R&D’s role in safety case development and implementations.\n\nLearning outcomes\nUpon completion of the training course\, the participants should be able to: \nDescribe the importance of the safety case for a radioactive waste disposal facility\nDiscuss the different steps of the safety case development\nDiscuss the different steps of the safety case review\nUnderstand safety requirements in relation to disposal facility\nDiscuss safety case strategy\, components and documentation depending on safety case evaluation with respect to the facility whole life cycle\, in particular within each licensing process\nDiscuss existing safety standards\, in particular those issued by IAEA\, OECD/ NEA\nProvide information about necessary legal framework and international regulation in RWM\nExplain how the safety case in relation to geological disposal is implemented in an advanced programme. \nClick here to download the preliminary programme. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn | A pluralistic tool of dialogue on RWM: the Pathway Evaluation Process (PEP)
DESCRIPTION:This Lunch & Learn session will provide a short description of the objectives\, methodology and mechanisms of the tool of dialogue entitled Pathway Evaluation Process (PEP). The PEP is a serious game on RWM Governance that has been developed within the SITEX II project (2015-2017). The objective is to identify issues all along the pathways that would really matter for different categories of actors\, which have not the same vision of what should be the pathway and what should be the safe situation for the long term. A PEP session put into discussion different strategies allowing to reach a safe situation for the long term. The tool is envisioned to be used in the frame of different EURAD projects and notably UMAN and ROUTES. \nSpeaker: Julien Dewoghélaëre \nClick here to view the recording of this Lunch & Learn session. \n

SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn | Deep Borehole Repository of high-level radioactive waste - State of knowledge and pros&cons
DESCRIPTION: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 deep geological repository (DGR) concept\, a mining repository located underground in a geological layer\, in which conditioned waste is placed.\nAs an alternative concept for geological disposal\, the deep borehole repository (DBR) concept relies on two main safety functions similar to those of the DGR: isolate waste from natural surface phenomena\, thereby significantly reduce the risk of human intrusion\, and lean on the geological environment to ensure long-term passive containment.\nTo a greater extent\, several very different concepts of borehole disposal have already been studied or implemented. The deep injection of liquid waste through boreholes has been implemented for low and intermediate-level radioactive waste in the USA and Russia. The option of deep disposal of exothermic waste provoking fusion and melting with the surrounding rock has been studied in the ‘70s and ‘80s\, but only the sealing of the disposal zone in a borehole by welding of a granitic rock is still examined by the scientific community. There are several projects of disposal of small quantities of packaged solid waste\, such as disused sealed sources\, in a several tens to hundreds meters depth borehole\, following a guide developed by the IAEA; some of which are underway\, such as in Ghana. Finally\, the disposal of larger quantities of solid waste and potentially of HLW or SF\, in a DBR at a depth of thousands of meters\, was first considered in the ‘50s but rejected as it was considered to be beyond drilling capabilities. Improvements in drilling and associated technologies\, together with sealing methods progress have led several countries to reconsider this option for the disposal of HLW. It is actively studied in the USA\, including for SF disposing.\nThe DBR option drew the attention of some institutional organisations but also of some environmental Non-Governmental Organisations\, some of which are part of SITEX.Network\, as a plausible alternative to the DGR. However\, some issues are controverted\, and other institutions see DBR as an unappropriated option for management of HLW and SF. That motivated SITEX to launch a review project including a state of the art’s bibliographic review as well as a workshop for discussions among members and wider. These SITEX activities have highlighted potential advantages and weaknesses of DBR compared to DGR\, from the point of view of safety\, social and societal expectations\, regulatory aspects and finally R&D needs. \nSpeaker: Dr. Muriel Rocher (IRSN\, France) \nClick here to view the recording of this Lunch & Learn session. \nClick here to view all Lunch & Learn sessions.

SUMMARY:CHANCE Webinar series | Muon Tomography
DESCRIPTION:Muon tomography is a non-destructive technique to image objects from a safe distance. It utilizes the ever-present cosmic radiation and thus does not require additional radiation sources. Due to the highly penetrating nature of muons\, it is possible to image the insides of large objects\, ranging from nuclear waste drums to pyramids and volcanoes. As such it is an ideal tool to determine the contents and condition of nuclear waste materials in containers like waste drums up to CASTOR storage casks. \nFor more information on the CHANCE project\, please visit the project website here. \nClick here to watch the recording of this webinar.

SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn | Steps for Sharing
DESCRIPTION: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\, with the most advanced programmes being in Finland\, Sweden\, and France. However\, for technical\, financial\, and societal reasons\, disposal in most countries – and in particular for new or small nuclear programmes – lies decades into the future. Accordingly\, a prudent strategy is to keep options open: adopt a dual track strategy. For more than 20 years the MNR track has been studied\, with varying degrees of support from the IAEA\, the NEA and the EC. The ad-hoc ERDO-Working Group that has been dedicated to developing the dual track approach since 2009\, has in January 2021 established a formal ERDO Association with headquarters at COVRA\, the radioactive waste organization of the Netherlands. Why this new association? What will it do for multinational solutions? In this Lunch & Learn sessions you will hear all about the status and future goals of the ERDO association. \nThis Lunch & Learn session will be presented by Dr. Ir. Ewoud Verhoef (COVRA). \nClick here to view the recording of this Lunch & Learn session.

SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn | Knowledge Management in Nuclear Organizations
DESCRIPTION: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 either negligence or changing priorities. The scope of knowledge management is very broad and the aspects of managing knowledge in its different forms are manifold. IAEA defined Knowledge Management as an integrated\, systematic approach to identifying\, acquiring\, transforming\, developing\, disseminating\, using\, sharing and preserving knowledge\, relevant to achieving specified objectives.\nDuring this Lunch & Learn session knowledge management fundamentals\, policy\,  strategy\, methods and tools will be discussed. \nSpeaker: Dinara Abbasova \nThe recording of this webinar can be viewed here.
