Situation on regulatory aspects of underground disposal of radioactivity wastes in Japan
Creators
Description
At present, in Japan, there exists no law specifically regulating the underground disposal of radioactive wastes although various regulations deal with disposal safety measures in a general way. For the moment, apart from the need to gain public acceptance of such disposal, the problem is essentially one of technical feasibility, and a geological study is currently being undertaken by the Science and Technology Agency. This same Agency is also looking at the problem of a long-term waste management system, but it is the Nuclear Safety Commission, created in 1978, which will be primarily responsible for all regulatory aspects of safety.

Abstract (French)
Il n'existe pas encore au Japon de legislation traitant specifiquement de l'evacuation souterraine des dechets radioactifs; cependant, certaines reglementations contiennent des dispositions generales applicables a la securite de l'evacuation. Pour le moment, independamment du probleme consistant a gagner la confiance de la population a l'egard de ce type d'evacuation, la question qui se pose est surtout celle de la faisabilite technique et une etude geologique est d'ailleurs en cours actuellement au sein de l'Agence pour la science et la technologie. Celle-ci examine egalement un systeme de gestion a long terme des dechets; au demeurant, c'est la Commission de la securite nucleaire, creee en 1978, qui est d'abord responsable de tous les aspects reglementaires de la securite de ces activites
