The control of safety of radioactive waste management and decommissioning in Switzerland

چکیده
In 2003, the Swiss parliament decided to introduce a 10-year moratorium on the export of spent fuel for reprocessing which started in July 2006. Before the start of the moratorium, the utilities were free to choose between reprocessing and direct disposal of the spent fuel. The Nuclear Energy Act states a series of conditions which must be fulfilled for an authorisation of the export of spent fuel for reprocessing to be granted. The conditions include an international agreement with the country of destination, the existence in that country of an adequate facility corresponding to the international standards and the fact that the country of destination has ratified the Convention on Nuclear Safety and the Joint Convention.

The Regulatory Perspective: Role of Regulatory Review of the Safety Case and Feedback to Site Investigation
Swiss Legislation requires for all types of radioactive waste the safe and permanent disposal in deep geological repositories within Switzerland by stipulating a step-by-step procedure for site selection and licensing of the disposal facilities. Each step requires safety considerations or safety analyses which are reviewed by the Swiss Federal Nuclear Safety Inspectorate. The principle steps of...
