EXPERT GROUP ON INTERNATIONAL SPENT FUEL MANAGEMENT

1. INTRODUCTION

1.1. Background

An Expert Group on International Spent Fuel Management was first convened in
1979 on the initiative of the Director General of the IAEA. This Group was charged
with responsibility to examine the potential for international co-operation in the
management of spent fuel and to assist the Agency in defining what role the IAEA
might play in solving problems created by growing accumulations of spent fuel.
The Expert Group was open to participants from all Member States; experts from
24 countries and three international organizations took part in the Study.

In order to carry out its work, the Expert Group established two subgroups. Subgroup
A was asked to deal with technical and economic considerations and Subgroup B was
asked to deal with institutional, legal and procedural considerations. Each Subgroup
drafted and approved a Summary Report to describe its findings and conclusions.
These two Summary Reports form the basis of this Expert Group Report, and they
are attached as Appendices A and B.
