Description
Long-term industrial management of radioactive waste in France is carried out by the Agence Nationale pour la Gestion des Dechets Radioactifs (ANDRA). ANDRA is in charge with design, siting, construction and operation of disposal centers. The solution selected in France for the disposal of low- and medium-level, short-lived radioactive waste is near-surface disposal in the earth using the principle of multiple barriers, in accordance with national safety rule and regulations, and based on operating experience from the Centre de Stockage de la Manche. Since the Center's start-up in 1969, 350,000 m3 of waste have been disposed of. The French national program for waste management is running on with the construction of a second near surface disposal which is expected in operation in 1991
