Report
International aspects of waste management
Description
The scope of IAEA activities in radioactive waste management is reviewed and it is noted how this differs somewhat from what one intuitively might consider to be the Agency's role. How the IAEA fulfills its role in other, better developed, areas of nuclear energy is outlined and it is shown that the same approach is somewhat premature for waste management, which has only recently risen to prominence. The IAEA program in several waste-management areas is discussed as an example of how the Agency carries out its function
