Radioactive waste management
The goal of the NEA in this area is to assist member countries in the management of radioactive waste and materials, focusing on the development of strategies for the safe, sustainable and broadly acceptable management of all types of radioactive waste, in particular long-lived waste and spent fuel.
Objectives
- To bring about a shared and broad-based understanding on the management of radioactive waste and materials, particularly in the long-lived waste area;
- To facilitate the elaboration of waste management strategies at the national and international levels;
- To help elaborate common regulatory approaches in the management of radioactive waste;
- To enable the management of radioactive waste and materials to benefit from progress of scientific
and technical knowledge.
