Radioactive waste

Geological disposal corresponds to the implementation of the CCG management strategy: conditioning, confinement in the geosphere [BN 3 660v2] for long-lived waste (FAVL, MAVL and HAVL). The aim is to place waste packages beyond the reach of ordinary human activities in a geological layer where, after a phase of isolation, the radionuclides leaving the degraded packages will remain trapped for as long as possible. The desired duration of radionuclide confinement...
