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 […]
OECD Nuclear Energy Agency is pleased to announce the fifth edition of the course on “Thermodynamic data collection and assessment” organised by the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency within the Thermochemical Database (TDB) Project. The fifth edition will take place as a 2-session webinar (3 hours per session) on the 18th and 19th of November 2021. […]
Summary WP FUTURE is holding Education & Training Event on the scientific basis and safety relevant aspects of radionuclide transport and retention. The event could be of relevance to a broad audience of researchers, especially early carrier scientists, interested at better understanding the radionuclide retention mechanisms and their role in different disposal concept. Objectives Provide […]

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 […]
This intensive unique seven day course will give a comprehensive overview of different aspects involved in the management of radioactive waste. The course modules will handle operational radioactive waste management during collection, characterization, conditioning, transport and (interim) storage. Course topics will focus on international best practices and regulations, national and international state-of-the-art. The course benefits […]
In the European Union several nuclear facilities are closed or may stop their operation in the coming decade. The need to proceed with decommissioning creates a potential for new industrial activities. The availability of qualified personnel to support the emerging decommissioning market is an asset for the European industry. The present JRC-Ispra Summer School is […]
This Lunch & Learn session will be presented by Delphine Pellegrini (IRSN), Nadja Zeleznik (EIMV) and Frédéric Bernier (FANC). Click here to view the recording of this Lunch & Learn session.
Part of a webinar series organized in respect to the technical work packages of the Characterization of conditioned radioactive waste (CHANCE) project. Cavity Ring-Down Spectroscopy (CRDS) is an innovative technique to characterize outgassing of radioactive waste. During this webinar, a general introduction to CRDS will be given, as well as the recent developments with CHANCE. […]
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, […]
Radioactive waste toxicity requires a safety management in conditions which ensure the minimum risk to people and the environment, well within the established limits. The course provides current knowledge of the radioactive waste management, and the Spanish radioactive waste plan. This thirtieth course updates the knowledge of radioactive waste management, through the experience and knowledge […]
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. To register, click here.
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 […]
