Analysis of the MUA Decision Methodology for HLW Repository Siting: Preclosure Utilities
Analysis of the MUA Decision Methodology for HLW Repository Siting: Preclosure Utilities
Utilities and ranking of the preclosure attributes of the proposed high-level radioactive waste repository are examined, in order to provide insights into the propriety of using this approach for this type of decision and an assessment of the adequacy of the analysis itself. The postclosure utilities obtained in the previous study were greater than 80% for all five sites considered, but showed a greater spread than those in the MUA. The preclosure multiattribute utilities also show a wider spread than in the MUA.

Managing our Radioactive Waste Safely: CoRWM's recommendations to Government
Managing our Radioactive Waste Safely: CoRWM's recommendations to Government
The Committee on Radioactive Waste Management was asked by Government in 2003 to make recommendations for the long-term management of the UK’s higher activity wastes that would both protect the public and the environment, and inspire public confidence. To do this, we have combined a technical assessment of options with ethical considerations, examination of overseas experience and a wide-ranging programme of engagement both with the public and with interested parties (stakeholders). I am happy to present our recommendations in the pages that follow.
INTERIM STORAGE OF HIGHER ACTIVITY WASTES AND THE MANAGEMENT OF SPENT FUELS, PLUTONIUM AND URANIUM
INTERIM STORAGE OF HIGHER ACTIVITY WASTES AND THE MANAGEMENT OF SPENT FUELS, PLUTONIUM AND URANIUM
CoRWM’s remit is to provide independent scrutiny and advice to Government on the long-term management, including storage and disposal, of radioactive wastes and materials that may be declared to be wastes. This is the first of three reports to be produced in 2009 that describes the results of the Committee’s scrutiny work in 2008 and the first part of 2009 and provides advice to Government.
Making Nuclear Waste Governable: Deep Underground Disposal and the Challenge of Reversibility
Making Nuclear Waste Governable: Deep Underground Disposal and the Challenge of Reversibility
This book is the result of a collaboration that began over two years ago between researchers from the social sciences and Andra engineers and natural scientists. Contributions to the various chapters have been discussed and enhanced, especially during the workshop and the interdisciplinary conference both held by Andra in 2008 and 2009<br>respectively.

WP 2 Appendix 6 Public and Stakeholders Engagement in the Decision-processes of the Committee on Radioactive Waste Management (CoRWM)
The activities of the UK Committee on Radioactive Waste Management (CoRWM) were identified by WP2 stakeholders as of particular interest in the context of exploring the scope for local actors’ influence on a major national decision making process. Thus, they agreed to focus on this Committee as one of the case studies.

Breaking the Logjam: Environmental Reform for the New Congress and Administration
Breaking the Logjam: Environmental Reform for the New Congress and Administration
The purpose of the report, which is authored by the three project leaders, is to provide a constructive starting point for the political dialogue that is necessary to achieve environmental law reform. The report builds on many of the ideas discussed at the March 2008 conference, but it is not a synthesis of these ideas, and indeed conference participants may disagree with aspects of the report.

Aspects of Governance in the Practical Implementation of the Concept of Reversibility for Deep Geological Disposal
The European project COWAM in Practice (CIP) was aimed to lead for three years (2007-2009) a process of monitoring, analyzing and evaluating the governance linked with radioactive waste management. This project, in cooperation with a research group and stakeholders, was conducted in parallel in 5 European countries (Spain, France, United Kingdom, Romania, Slovenia).

European Union Contract Number: FP6-036413. Deliverable 23b. Towards Implementation of Transparency and Participation in Radioactive Waste Management Programmes, ARGONA Final Summary Report
The point of departure for the ARGONA project is that participation and transparency are key elements of effective risk governance and the acronym ARGONA stands for "Arenas for Risk Governance ". Given the overall objectives, ARGONA intended to demonstrate how participation and transparency link to the political and legal systems and how new approaches can be implemented in radioactive waste management programmes.

Summary Report Based on the Oral Conclusions of the Two Rapporteurs
Eight years after the entry into force of the Law on the provisions created for the decommissioning of nuclear power plants and the management of fuel irradiated in these plants (Law of 11 April 2003, as amended in 2007), the Belgian Minister for Climate and Energy wished to organize a round table on nuclear provisions aimed at examining the possibilities for improving this Law (see attached participant list), taking into account the experience gained and the assessments carried out, by ONDRAF/NIRAS among others within the scope of its _nuclear liabilities inventory_ mission.
