Description

Management of radioactive waste of nuclear power plant origin comprises two main tasks: management of the high-level (spent fuel) and the low-and intermediate-level waste (LILW). With a plan to start operation of a repository for low-and intermediate-level waste (LILW) at the beginning of the next century, a site investigation programme was started in 1993. The site selection procedure. Between 1993-1995 some 300 geological objects were identified as potentially suitable for either near surface or tunnel-type disposal. The first stage of the site exploration has been performed and the decision on the continuation of the programme is due to by the end of 1998
