Joint CNRA/CRPPH/RWMC Workshop REGULATING THE LONG-TERM SAFETY OF RADIOACTIVE WASTE DISPOSAL
ثبت نشده
چکیده
This paper describes the general system for regulation of disposal of solid, long-lived radioactive wastes. It outlines the relevant Government policy, the framework of legislation and arrangements for implementation, the associated guidance produced by regulatory bodies and the approach to assessment by regulators of a safety case for radioactive waste disposal. Also, for the purposes of discussion in the Workshop, it describes some of the practical issues which are still in development in the UK in regard to regulatory methodology.
