IV meeting of R and D in radioactive waste management

The present technical report gathers the summaries and abstracts presented during the conference days of IV Jornadas de I+D Tecnologico en Gestion de Residuos Radiactivos of ENRESA in Barcelona during the last month of November, 2000. The document is divided in two big chapters, the first chapter with the summaries and abstracts of the Scientific Sessions, and the second with the presented ones in the Seminars. The present document together with the volumes of the Technical Publications 9/2000 Posters Divulgativos, and 10/2000 Posters Tecnicos are a real sample of the state of the knowledge that ENRESA, and collaborators have developed so far. Likewise, the reading of this document tries to give a transparent and suitable vision of which are the needs, strategies and prior activities in the Research and Development in the field of Radioactive Waste Management. For the reader who wants to penetrate into the topics of R and D here presented, there is recommended the complementary reading of the Technical Publication X/2001 in which there are gathered in a more detailed way the papers and presentations carried out during the conference days kept in Barcelona.
