Partnering for Long-Term Management of Radioactive Waste - Evolution and Current Practice in Thirteen Countries
Partnering for Long-Term Management of Radioactive Waste - Evolution and Current Practice in Thirteen Countries
National radioactive waste management programmes are in various phases of siting facilities and rely on distinct technical approaches for different categories of waste. In all cases, it is necessary for institutional actors and the potential or actual host community to build a meaningful, workable relationship. Partnership approaches are effective in achieving a balance between the requirements of fair representation and competent participation.
