RWM ends up with Disposal Solutions.

A Repository is a safe and effective

combination of a site, an inventory and adesign.

RWM is a societal achievement, not onlytechnical. (planning, Long term consequences,

financing, siting).

Andra3

Safety.

Independence of the regulatory body.Safety objectives clearly identified andcompatible with disposal options.(IAEArecommendations, National policies).


4/14


Andra4

Effective.

Cost effectiveness.Look for an acceptable solution, not forthe best technical solution.Optimization with other programs(Dismantling for example).Financing to be secure and reliable.


5/14


Andra5

Inventory and National Plan.

Requirement to know the inventory,

present and future (quantities, activity,long lived nuclides).Caution on Sorting, preconditioning andconditioning (impact on safety ofrepository). Not too early.National Roadmap.Consistency with other nuclear programs(eg dismantling).

Design of a disposal.

Very critical for operational and short termmonitoring periods.

Includes the conditioning of waste(Relations with storage area), flexibilityrequired.Compatibility between storage anddisposal design.Depending on site Characteristics,Designmight be very critical (Engineeredbarriers).

Andra7

SITE. Long term safety relies on Characteristicsof the site.Importance of favorable technical

characteristicsLocal acceptance to be key to the solution.Means Required for siting.


8/14


Andra8

Means Required for SITING.Action / Involvement of Politicians andCommunities.Administrative Tools and Means for

supporting development of local territories.Siting is not a regular regulatory process.Generate local activities and development(Employment and business).Generate the Acceptance

Andra9

Acceptance ProcessImplementation of National IndependentAssessment organisations( technical and societalexpertise)Call for international review by knowledgeable

organisations (NEA, IAEA, etc).Acceptance of external review during theprocess.Implementation of local IndependentInformation Committees (financing included).Public Debate to be proposed.Show industrial references to the public asmuch as possible.Commitment from Waste producers required

Commitment from the Waste Producers

Extensive involvement needed from waste producers (waste,waste conditioning, cask design, transportation routes, etc).

Beyond their financial commitment, they need to develop

their own activities in local territories, to gain acceptance ofthe project.

Producers need to be well identified in the local territory. (Which activity has generated the waste?, which benefit was

gained for the society?).

Producers to recognise that nuclear industry is at stake iffailure in Waste disposal implementation.

Interdependence of Site/Design/ Inventorycomponents for a successful Disposal solution.Interface with Storage/sorting and preconditioningactivities to be looked at.

Compatibility of RWM Strategy with Nuclear Energy,D&D ,and ER programs. General Planning consistency.RWM strategy requires support from the Institutionsand from the Large Waste producers.

The strategy might change with time, but it isimportant to have one!It takes a lot of time to implement a RWM strategy.
