HomeBenchmarking analysis of member states approaches to definition of national inventories radioactive waste and spent fuel
Métadonnées de la publication
The methods and tools used by Member States (MS) for the preparation of radioactive waste and spent fuel inventories differ greatly in the European Union. In the absence of specific guideline regarding inventories, MS limit their publications to quantity and waste categories assessments. In most cases the information available in the literature on inventories’ preparation could lead to question the quality and accuracy of national inventories. Despite the differences observed at the European Union scale, MS follow similar approaches and methods, with a level of details and complexity adapted to the country challenges. Inventories are the results of regular data collection from radioactive waste producers. However, most of the MS do only limited proof reading and review mechanism for the collected date, such as cross checking of data provided by licensees/producers and challenging quality of inventory data (conditioned or unconditioned waste, units used for waste quantities). Potential for improvement lies in the spreading of best practices identified in different MS. Radioactive waste and spent fuel inventories’ homogenisation could be achieved through the development of a specific guideline for future reports in application of the Directive 2011/70, describing in detail the formal outputs required by European Commission to improve the reporting on the inventory accuracy. However, most of the Member States already have their own best practices in line with country’s needs, thus such modification of the reporting approach could lead to non-negligible additional work while providing uncertain added value for MS. While it is clear that there are important and relevant historical reasons why Member States had developed different systems, the introduction of the Directive has established Union level requirements that shall be abided to. First and foremost, the Member States have to establish and implement their national program, including inventories which have to be meaningful to serve the program implementation.
