Description

Agency for Natural Resources and Energy (ANRE) in Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry has established a coordination council for research and development (R&D) programs for geological disposal of high-level radioactive waste (HLW) and TRU waste. The council has been establishing R&D plans for a certain period (e.g., 5 years) through managing R&D programs from the viewpoint of their comprehensiveness and exclusion of duplications. Funding programs for part of the established R&D plans have also been performed by ANRE itself. The present lecture introduces a history for establishing general R&D plans and status of the present R&D programs funded by ANRE. (author)
