THE INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK FOR ESTABLISHING A MULTINATIONAL RADIOACTIVE WASTE DISPOSAL SYSTEM:A DEVELOPING COUNTRY PERCEPTIVE

摘要

An overall institutional framework is proposed for establishing a multinational disposal system embodying all the essential conditions,checks and balances for the successful achievement of technical efficiency,societal legitimacy and stakeholder trust.The challenges posed by the implementation of this concept in developing countries are examined,taking into account the specific sensitivities in such countries to acceptance of foreign radioactive waste.As a consequence,the likelihood of developing countries acting as potential hosts of multinational disposal systems should not be overestimated.
