WASTE CERTIFICATION,ACCEPTANCE AND DISPOSAL FOR LLW/ILW/MW/HW MANAGEMENT OF RADIOACTIVE WASTE IN GERMANY:QUALITY ASSURANCE OF WASTE PACKAGES WITH RESPECT TO IAEA RECOMMENDATIONS

摘要

In Germany the management of low and intermediate level waste(LILW)is based on the preliminary waste acceptance requirements for disposal at the planned repository at former iron ore mine Konrad, recommendations of the Reactor Safety Commission and federal laws and regulations.These requirements also contain regulations for quality assurance and quality control programs.Two mainly used processes for assuring quality of radioactive waste products are shown.The IAEA has published regulations for quality assurance of radioactive waste packages as well as recommendations for inspection and verification of waste packages containing LILW.Based on examples of actual waste conditioning campaigns for LILW it is discussed how the international standards are adopted by the German regulations for quality assurance and quality control.
