In the workshop
Optimising the safety case through transdisciplinary research?, we want to discuss how safety cases on the disposal path for high-level radioactive waste can be optimised in a transdisciplinary way. The workshop not only offers the opportunity to exchange ideas on topics concerning the safety case, such as the design of a digital safety case, but also to get experiences with transdisciplinary methods and tools first hand.

For specialists, the tool
Safety Case(in the German site selection procedure:
Sicherheitsuntersuchung) is an established instrument for supporting safety-relevant decisions in a stepwise disposal programme. Actors, affected individuals and interested persons have different notions and value judgements about it, though. In the TRANSENS project, it is planned to reveal these notions and judgements and, if possible, to derive conclusions about optimising the safety case concept.

The Site Selection Act (StandAG) defines the selection of a repository as a learning process. Therefore, we would like to identify the manifold learning experiences of stakeholder integration during the site selection procedure, on the one hand, and of transdisciplinary research projects, on the other hand. From the interactive workshop, we expect the identification of key learning areas, their specific relevance for nuclear waste management and the identification of topics for the future.

Using case examples, insights and experiences from a complex conceptualisation and application process and two years research experience in the TRANSENS project will be presented taking the views of the involved (standing
Working Group Populationand scientists). Particularly, the understanding of transdisciplinarity will be discussed given the varying definitions in literature.

In our project, several disciplines work on issues concerning the management of high-level nuclear waste in Germany. In our sub-project on trust, we have enlisted a group of 16 citizens, reflecting with us on our research questions and approaches. From joint workshops of researchers and these citizens on the role of trust in scientists we find that participants generally want to be taken seriously. Transparent and binding rules for all participants could be the key to a trusting relationship.

The aim of the workshop is to present a psychologically resilient communication approach along selected
stepsof the
ten steptransdisciplinarity and to illuminate it with examples from the current process of location selection. It is summarized how this can support the process of further location selection. The workshop is aimed at scientists and practitioners alike. Target size about 15 people.

Short summary
Peer reviews are conducted to improve the quality of scientific publications and can also be applied to the safety case. Research within the TRANSENS project suggests that extending the spectrum of reviewers and using transdisciplinary methods and tools in reviews not only opens perspectives to improve the quality, legitimacy, and acceptance of a safety case, but also increases the resilience of safety on the disposal pathway.
