From the publication:
INTRODUCTION The nuclear industry, which provides a significant contribution to electricity generation in many OECD countries, produces increasing amounts of radioactive wastes, principally at nuclear power plants, but also in supporting nuclear fuel cycle facilities, such as uranium mining and milling, uranium enrichment, fuel fabrication and reprocessing plants. To safely manage these industrial by-products, substantial financial and manpower resources are required to develop or improve concepts, methods and technologies for treatment, conditioning, storage and disposal. The Nuclear Energy Agency of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD/NEA) supports national waste management efforts through a programme of international co-operation. The NEA promotes the transfer of experience between Member countries, assists in research and development, and contributes to the development of an international understanding and guidance on current issues.
