SESSION 20: CHALLENGES WHEN SELECTING
DISPOSAL OPTIONS IN THE LIGHT OF THE
NEW IAEA CLASSIFICATION SCHEME (1.17)
Tuesday: 1:45pm - 6:00pm Room: 1
The new IAEA classification scheme is based on long
term safety – primarily disposal. The potential options
for disposal include: above surface engineered landfill,
near surface disposal (trenches, vaults or shallow
boreholes), engineered facilities at intermediate depth
(10s to 100s of meters) and geological disposal (> few
hundred metres). Specific waste types will need specific
consideration (e.g. disused sealed sources, graphite
waste, and radium bearing waste). National schemes
will be circumstance dependent.
The following will be discussed:
• Near surface or geological disposal for SL-LILW
• Separate disposal for SL-LILW and VLLW
• Advantages and disadvantages of opting for codisposal
• Borehole disposal as potential solution for the
countries having limited waste inventories
• Feasible approaches for disposal of low level longlived
waste
This panel will provide a forum for the exchange of
scientific and technical information on disposal of
different categories of radioactive waste with focus on
current approaches.
Panelists Include: Linde Nel, Director of Operations
and Maintenance Services (South Africa); Vaclav

SESSION 21 & 22: CONTRIBUTION AND
COMPLEMENTARITIES OF INTERIM
STORAGE, GEOLOGICAL DISPOSAL,
PARTITIONING & TRANSMUTATION
REVERSIBILITY REGARDING GLOBAL
OPTIMIZATION OF RADWASTE
MANAGEMENT (2.15)
Tuesday: 1:45pm-3:30pm Room: 4
Tuesday: 4:15pm-6:00pm Room: 4
Session 21 is a two part panel in conjunction with
Session 22. The first part will consist of a introductory
paper and then a panel will address the status of HLW
and Spent Fuel interim storage, processing and national
programs. Partitioning and transmutation are also
investigated in several countries. Interim storage is
required to accommodate waste as long as sustainable
management solutions are not available and interim
storage duration up to 100 years has been often
considered.
