  1. The department Studies and Final Disposal Programs of ONDRAF Exchange Meeting nr2 J.P. Boyazis

  2. Royal Decree 30.03.1981 • “The management of radioactive waste includes …the disposal of the radioactive waste” (art. 2, § 2, 1°, d) • ONDRAF-NIRAS must “establish, in collaboration with the operators, the R&D programs necessary to accomplish his missions” (art. 2, § 3, 4°, b)

  3. The mission • Fixing R&D objectives regarding the disposal of radwaste • Establishing and piloting the R&D programs • Planifying and budgeting for the R&D activities • Negotiating the financing conventions • Preparing, following and approving the R&D activities performed by partners and subcontractors • Reporting to authorities and customers

  4. Who is who in the team Final Disposal? • Total: 16 agents • 2 administrative collaborators • 14 scientific and technical collaborators : - 13 with ONDRAF contract; - 1 temporary assignment (Jean-Marie Linotte from Jacobs Engineering)

  20. Principal activities Three main R&D programs… 1. Disposal of LLW 2. Disposal of MLW and HLW including Spent-fuel 3. Waste characterization and compatibility with disposal environment

  21. 1. R&D Final Disposal of LLW History • After more than ten years of R&D including the vicissitudes of the 98 zones adventure, Government decides on 16.01.1998 for final disposal (no long term storage) • He expresses his intention to make, as soon as possible, the technical choice between surface and deep disposal • He gives ONDRAF new missions...

  22. 1. R&D Final Disposal of LLW The challenges • Site exploration (limited to existing nuclear sites and candidate sites) • Refining existing technical solutions for surface and deep disposal : • -progressive, flexible, controlable solution • - retrievability • Developing and applying methods for integration based on concertation

  23. 1. R&D Final Disposal of LLW Present situation • Current R&D programme : 1998-2001 (545 millions BEF) • 2 partnerships in Mol (MONA) and Dessel (STOLA) and 1 Information Commitee : Fleurus-Farciennes • Next objective : to present integrated pre-projects (surface and/or deep disposal) to the government round 2003/2004
