Abstract

Since its first R & D programme on radioactive waste management in 1973, the European Community has been contributing a steadily increasing share of the European research effort in this field. A major part of the programme is devoted to the investigation and evaluation of management concepts for high-level and TRU wastes from the backend of the fuel cycle. Risk analysis studies for the assessment of multi-barrier terminal isolation systems currently have high priority.
