Critical Groups and Biospheres in the Context of Radioactive Waste Disposal | IAEA

The purpose of this publication is to present an approach for establishing radiological waste acceptance criteria using a safety assessment methodology and to illustrate

In view of possible radionuclide migration only taking place after long time scales, the use of safety indicators, other than dose and risk, to assess and confirm the safety

For example, consideration of the socio-economic context of the local human community provides a basis for the subsequent identification of potentially exposed groups for

Potential socio-economic and other non-radiological impacts are important considerations during the life cycle of a near surface disposal facility, covering the period from

The work on the common framework for the disposal of all types of radioactive waste has highlighted (if not necessarily resolved) some key issues, such as the meaning of providing

The design process for a near surface disposal facility is multi-staged and iterative, involving safety assessment and information on packaging, engineered barrier materials, site

The IPABS-IS data includes: annual quantities of waste by waste type (e.g., high level, transuranic, and low level), waste characteristics (e.g., isotopes, activity, and hazardous

The report discussed topics of identification, transfer and long term retention of high level information pertaining to the repository in a records management system (RMS) for
