Advancing waste management through consensus, policy updates and global strategies

Radioactive Waste Management Conference 2011

Take a look at the Radioactive Waste Management Conference agenda.

Delegates who attended this conference benefited from practical insights into:

  • Deep geological disposal associated with spent fuel, intermediate waste and high level waste including deep geological repositories
  • Very low level and low level waste issues including transport, packaging and characterisation
  • How radioactive waste is managed differently in countries such as:

    France
    Bure Facility – ANDRA’s the deep geological repository which will allow high level and long-lived intermediate level waste to be safely stored for an extreme length of time

    USA
    Yucca Mountain – the technical and operational processes and the true cost and legal ramifications of this region

    UK
    Kings Cliffe – what the authorisation process involved as well as the disposal methods and future challenges for the Site.

    Sweden
    SKB International's operating experience and facilities in Sweden and public acceptance
  • How to build understanding through stakeholder engagement and open communication with the public
  • Whether there should be a uniform standard for dealing with legislation and policy dealing with radioactive waste management
