Design Principles and Approaches for Radioactive Waste Repositories

Just back from a week in Canada supporting the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission in delivering the IAEA designed course on Design Principles and Approaches for Radioactive Waste Repositories. Although initially conceived as a course for waste management organisations, our experience showed that it would work equally well with regulators - especially where they might want hands-on insight to the development of disposal concepts suited to different disposal inventories and geological environments.

Incidentally the course was developed by IAEA and complements this recently published report

Thanks to CNSC for arranging and hosting the event, thanks to IAEA for devising and supporting the course but most of all big thanks to the participants who engaged with the material and exercises with great professionalism and enthusiasm!
