Public Acceptance as a Driver for Repository Design

摘要: The Japanese geological disposal programme for radioactive waste is based on a volunteering approach to siting, which places particular emphasis the need public acceptance. This, as established in law, emphasises development of repository project partnership with local communities and involves stakeholders important decisions associated key milestones selection sites subsequent construction, operation, closure. To date, however, concept has proceeded more traditional manner, focusing particularly ease developing post-closure safety case. In current project, we have attempted go further by assessing what requirements would place how these could be used rethink designs so that they meet desires without compromising critical operational or long-term safety.
