National Inventory of radioactive materials and wastes. The essentials 2020

Every year, Andra publishes the Essentials, a condensed version of the National Inventory of Radioactive Materials and Waste. This document presents the changes to the inventory of radioactive materials and waste produced in France. This work is supplemented every three years by 'forecast inventories' that provide estimates of the quantities of materials and waste based on several contrasting scenarios relating to the future of facilities and France's long-term energy policy. It constitutes a valuable tool for guiding French policy on the management of radioactive materials and waste. This publication presents the radioactive materials and wastes and the principles of their management, the inventory of radioactive material and radioactive waste stockpiles at the end of 2018, and a recall of the prospective inventories of the 2018 edition
