Capturing the state of knowledge in radioactive waste management is a very important activity for supporting member states with the implementation of their national programmes towards the safe and effective management of waste. This requires the involvement of experts sharing their expertise and knowledge with the wider community. During the past 3 years, we have gained valuable insights into the procedures of involving experts and knowledge sharing, and the lessons learnt are shown here.

Short summary
Decisions associated with radioactive waste management are made in the presence of irreducible and reducible uncertainties. Here, the identification of such uncertainties (namely numerical ones), their ranking according to relevance, their categorization, the elucidation of internal dependencies and cross-interactions is addressed. Suitable methodologies to analyse and illustrate complex uncertainty patterns are discussed.

THEREDA represents a web-based system of programs enabling access to thermodynamic reference data for the needs of the final disposal of radioactive waste in Germany. It is the only polythermal database worldwide that covers the entire system of oceanic salts, including acids, bases and carbonates. THEREDA aims at calculation of solubilities in high-saline solutions and uses the Pitzer approach.

In the last few years, we have studied the immobilization of the long-lived fission product technetium-99 (99Tc) by various Fe(II) minerals. Those minerals enable the reduction of Tc(VII) to Tc(IV), which is crucial to decrease the migration of technetium in the environment. In the future, we want to analyze Tc immobilization strategies under more complex systems that could, in a more realistic way, improve environmental conditions.

The immobilization of trivalent actinides (Am, Cm) and their less toxic homologue (Eu) in feldspar, a very common mineral in our earth crust, was studied by sorption experiments and spectroscopic studies. The speciation was identified and used to gain thermodynamic parameters to develop a surface complexation model. To sum up, feldspar, a main component of crystalline rock, is suitable for retaining radionuclides in a deep radioactive waste repository.

The Repository Site Selection Act explicitly emphasises that targeting the disposal of high-level radioactive waste is a so-called learning process. We are of the opinion that the procedure and the available data should be combined with geoscientific knowledge to support the identification of siting regions. We propose this workshop and invite all experts who have dealt with the search for a repository site from a geoscientific perspective.

Based on a model of pluralistic interactions, EURAD proposes a framework for interaction that consists of translating scientific/technical results for exchanging with a group of CS representatives gathering CS views on future EURAD activities, and improving the mutual understanding on RD&D performed to support the development of safe solutions for radioactive waste. The objective is to create the methodological conditions for fruitful interactions between the concerned categories of actors.

Knowledge Management (KM) is a core activity of the European Joint Programme on Radioactive Waste Management (EURAD) which has driven the development of the EURAD Roadmap, a roadmap for the implementation of radioactive waste management (RWM) leading to geological disposal, using the experiences of advanced EU programmes. The roadmap is based on over 40 years of experience and different technical and strategic approaches to deep geological repository (DGR) development.
