Description

In 1984, following the decision to cease dumping of low and intermediate level radioactive wastes at sea, the Netherlands Government revised its radioactive waste policy. Within this framework it was decided that for future decades all radioactive waste should be stored in one central land based facility. During this period the options for final disposal are to be studied. The site selection procedure for interim storage is described and the results discussed. For future final disposal, two options are being studied: geological disposal in the Netherlands and possible international waste disposal systems, including subseabed disposal. An overview is given of the research programme for geological disposal in rock salt formations. (author). 7 refs, 4 figs
