Radioactive Waste Disposal in Geological Formations International Conference Braunschweig ("City of Science 2007") November 6 – 9, 2007 Proceedings

To solve the still open question of high-level radioactive waste disposal, the countries having made the greatest progress in this
field usually choose to carry out comparing selection procedures including broad involvement of the public. This is a central
result of the “RepoSafe”symposium which took place from November 6 to 9, 2007, in Braunschweig. Within the scope of
this symposium, internationally leading experts, invited by the Federal Office for Radiation Protection (BfS) and Gesellschaft
für Anlagen- und Reaktorsicherheit (GRS), presented the most recent findings in the field of radioactive waste management.
Altogether, about 280 participants from 16 countries participated in the symposium.
