Regulator Says It Supports Principle Of Deep Geological Repository :: The Independent Global Nuclear News Agency: Belgium’s nuclear regulator said it is in favour of the proposed principle of deep geological storage for high-level and long-lived radioactive waste, but the safety of disposal plans is still to be demonstrated.
The Federal Agency for Nuclear Control said in a statement that current proposals deal only with the principle of geological disposal. “At this stage, it is not yet a question of discussing how, where and when the storage facility would be built,” the statement said.
In April the Belgian National Agency for Radioactive Waste and enriched Fissile Material (Ondraf/Niras) submitted a draft long-term management plan for high-level and long-lived conditioned radioactive waste to Fanc.
The plan, which is also the subject of a public inquiry, calls for a deep geological storage system on Belgian territory.
