Radioactive Waste Management - A Civil Society Perspective
Mark your agendas for the conference ‘Radioactive Waste Management: A Civil Society Perspective’ jointly organised by the European Economic and Social Committee and the European Commission (DG Research & Innovation) on 17 October 2024 from 9:30 to 17:30, in Brussels. Webstreaming will also be provided.
All EU Member States have generated and continue to generate radioactive waste from power generation, as well as from industrial, agricultural, medical, and research activities, and through the decommissioning of nuclear facilities. The safe and responsible management of spent fuel and radioactive waste is a crucial prerequisite for any nuclear activity and is a responsibility of each Member State.
The conference will bring together representatives from EU institutions, civil society, national and local actors to explore the diverse roles of scientific research and technological innovation in safely managing radioactive waste. It will underline the importance of broad participation, involvement, and interaction of civil society in public decision-making regarding radioactive waste management.
The full programme and registration details will be available in September.
