Underground disposal of radioactive waste regulations in The Netherlands
Creators
Description
The only method of final disposal of radioactive waste currently envisaged in the Netherlands is disposal in rock-salt. This question is at present being studied by governmental authorities, and a public discussion is foreseen for the near future. Various Ministries, as well as local authorities at both provincial and municipal levels, are involved in the licensing and control of waste disposal. The principal stages are site selection (including that for test-drilling), construction of the mine, and supervision of the repository. These activities are governed by the legislation on mining as well as by nuclear regulations. One matter still to be decided is the nature of the body to be responsible for conducting the disposal operations. (NEA)
Abstract (French)
La seule methode d'evacuation definitive des dechets radioactifs actuellement envisagee aux Pays-Bas, est l'enfouissement dans des roches de sel. Cette question fait l'objet d'une etude en cours par les autorites gouvernementales et une consultation du public est prevue prochainement. Le regime d'autorisation et de controle de ces activites implique l'intervention de nombreux departements ministeriels ainsi que des autorites locales aux niveaux provincial et municipal. Les phases principales sont le choix du site et les forages, le creusement de la mine, et la surveillance du depot. Ces activites sont soumises a la legislation sur les mines comme a la reglementation proprement nucleaire. Une question restant pendante est celle de la nature de l'organisme appele a gerer les dechets radioactifs
