Nagra has applied for a general license to establish a combined repository for high-level radioactive waste (HLW) and low to intermediate-level waste (L/ILW) in the geologically siting region of Nördlich Lägern in northern Switzerland. Leupin’s contribution presents the synthesis of the post-closure safety case, delineating how Nagra substantiate the long-term safety of the proposed repository. […]

In 2023 the European Parliament adopted a Pilot Project called a ’Proposal for a Joint European Approach towards Radioactive Waste’. The aim was to enable policymakers to assess, data in hand, whether pooling European resources together to deal with radioactive waste makes sense. DG ENER responded to the EP’s initiative by launching two parallel projects […]

Ireland is a small country with no historic or current civil or defence nuclear reactors or spent nuclear fuel storage or reprocessing activities. There is currently no centralised radioactive waste store. However, like all modern societies, Ireland uses radioactive materials in the form of sealed and unsealed sources in support of its high technology industries […]

About This Webinar The NEA has launched several initiatives to advance understanding and solutions for the back end of innovative rector systems, including small modular reactors and Generation IV technologies, recognising this as a critical element for their responsible and sustainable deployment. A key effort in this area has been the Focus Group on the […]
