Impact of climate change on nuclear waste management (CLIMATE)

Objectives

Identify knowledge gaps and provide recommendations for future research needs on the impact of climate change on radioactive waste management facilities and sites (predisposal; shallow and near surface low level waste, LLW; deep geological repositories, DGR, for low and intermediate level waste LILW, and high-level waste HLW) during construction, operation and post-closure phases.
