NATIONAL STRATEGIES TO ENSURE THE SAFE DISPOSAL OF RADIOACTIVE WASTE

摘要

A.T. HOOPER (United Kingdom): From the presentations made earlier in this session it is clear that there is a 'common framework' within which we can think about what long term management solutions exist for radioactive waste. However, R. Cailleton's presentation seemed to indicate that even in a country which has made great strides in the field of radioactive waste policy development there are some waste types for which the long term management solution is not very well defined. Perhaps R, Cailleton could clarify that point. R. CAILLETON (France): With the law of 30 December 1991 we acquired a legal framework for seeking a long term management solution for high level waste. Then, in the 1990s, we developed a management framework for low and intermediate level waste and for very low level waste. Now, in developing the National Plan for Radioactive Waste Management we are trying to cover all categories of radioactive waste.
