Radioactive Waste Management in Türkiye
Description
Türkiye began studying the field of nuclear energy and radiation applications in 1956 and established a Radioactive Waste Management Facility to process and store radioactive wastes resulting from various applications. In addition to radiation application activities, Türkiye plans for three nuclear power plant (NPP) projects include ongoing construction of the Akkuyu NPP project, an approved Environmental Impact Assessment for Sinop NPP projects, and ongoing site selection studies. Türkiye published its National Radioactive Waste Management Plan in December 2020 to plan for the expected increase in radioactive waste inventory. Studies continue for establishing a near surface radioactive waste disposal facility for very low, low, and intermediate level radioactive waste. Decree Law No. 702 requires spent fuels have to be stored at the NPP site throughout the operational life of an NPP. (author)
