Short summary

Radioactive waste disposal is likely to evolve iteratively as one or more sites are investigated and repository design is refined. The IAEA recently published technical guidance on the management of site investigations. The document presents an approach ensuring site investigations are based on a clear understanding of data and requirements. It also recently launched a project to develop further guidance reflecting good practices for establishing site selection criteria.
