INTERNATIONAL ACTⅣITIES ON USED NUCLEAR FUEL REPROCESSING REGULATORY FRAMEWORK-PANEL

摘要

The world energy needs is projected to increase during the coming decades. To limit the use of fossil fuel and the dangerous consequences of greenhouse effect, it's necessary and recommended to develop the sustainability of the nuclear fuel cycle. Long-term strategy for nuclear energy deployment and the availability of technologies is different from one country to the other one. Some countries have opted or will opt to recycle their used nuclear fuel and this international panel will present and discuss the work that has been done or is being done to develop a regulatory framework for reprocessing/recycling used nuclear fuel. Presentations from the panelists will cover the technical information needed to develop a regulatory framework for potential commercial used nuclear fuel reprocessing/recycling facilities that ensures the protection of public health and safety and the environment and promotes the common defense and security.
