A multinational working group, whose members are nominated by the appropriate Government level organisations, established to study the feasibility of setting up a Development Organisation (ERDO) that would implement one or more shared geological repositories in Europe.
The following organisations are involved in studies and activities that are closely related to those of the ERDO Working Group:
|
Arius: Association for Regional and International Underground Storage Promoting concepts for socially acceptable, international and regional solutions for environmentally safe, secure and economic storage and disposal of long-lived radioactive wastes. |
|
IFNEC: The International Framework For Nuclear Energy Cooperation IFNEC provides a forum for cooperation among participating states to explore mutually beneficial approaches to ensure the use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes proceeds in a manner that is efficient and meets the highest standards of safety, security and non-proliferation. Participating states would not give up any rights and voluntarily engage to share the effort and gain the benefits of economical, peaceful nuclear energy. |
|
EC JOPRAD Project: Towards a Joint Programming on Radioactive Waste Disposal The goal of the JOPRAD project is to prepare the setting up of a “Joint Programming on Radioactive Waste Disposal” that would be established to coordinate at the European level, national research programmes and the associated research and development (R&D) activities on geological disposal for high activity long lived radioactive waste. This action includes reviewing of all strategic aspects linked to a stepwise move towards a Joint Programming in this field. |

IAEA INPRO Project: International Project on Innovative Nuclear Reactors and Fuel Cycles INPRO was established in 2000 to help ensure that nuclear energy is available to contribute to meeting the energy needs of the 21st century in a sustainable manner. It is a mechanism for INPRO Members to collaborate on topics of joint interest. The results of INPRO's activities are being made available to all IAEA Member States. |
