Abstract

This report has been prepared by an ad-hoc Working Group (WG) formed by ANDRA (France), NUMO (Japan), NAGRA (Switzerland) and ENRESA (Spain) in May 2003, after the EDRAM meeting held in Valencia to study the situation in the different EDRAM member countries regarding the treatment of radioactive waste ownership and management of long-term liabilities.
The first objective of the report was to analyse how the ownership of radioactive waste is addressed in each EDRAM country. As this issue is quite isolated, the WG considered it worthwhile to analyse also how long-term liabilities are treated, taking into account that, for both issues, the first step was to outline the distribution of responsibilities among the main actors involved in spent fuel and radioactive waste management.
