Technical overview of the SAFIR 2 report: Safety Assessment and Feasibility Interim Report 2

This document is the technical overview of the SAFIR 2 report that synthesises all of the technical and scientific knowledge available at the end of the second phase (1990–2000) of the ONDRAF/NIRAS programme of methodological research and development on the final disposal of category B and C waste in a poorly-indurated clay formation. The SAFIR 2 report will be handed over by ONDRAF/NIRAS to its supervisory Minister at the beginning of 2002, after publication approval by its Board of Directors. It aims to inform the Minister of the progress made regarding the technical feasibility of this solution and the assessment of its long-term radiological safety.
