EDITOR'S NOTE

The NEA Nuclear Waste Bulletin has been prepared by the Radiation Protection
and Waste Management Division of the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency to provide a
means of communication amongst the various technical and policy groups within the
radioactive waste management community. In particular, it is intended to provide
concise information on current activities, policies and programmes in Members
countries and within other international organisations. It is also intended that
the Bulletin assists in the communication of recent progress in the development
of technologies for the management and disposal of radioactive waste.

The Bulletin does not include an exhaustive description of national programmes,
rather it provides yearly updates. The reader is therefore invited to go back to
the information given in previous bulletins and, if necessary, to contact national
correspondents in order to obtain more complete information. The information
presented herein is up-to-date to the first few months of calendar year 1998.

With respect to the last year issue, the bulletin contains two new sections:
• "Highlights of recent developments",
• "Focus country".

The "Highlights" section provides a brief overview of major developments and
allows the reader to better orient himself to the material in the section on
"National programmes and policies".

The "Focus country" section is intended to give, each year, a fuller report of the
status of radioactive waste management in some specific countries. This year's focus
countries are Finland and Hungary.
