FOREWORD

Countries planning and implementing nuclear energy programmes should assume
responsibility for the safe management and final disposal of radioactive waste
from their programmes. However, there are countries whose radioactive waste volumes
do not easily justify a national repository, and/or countries which do not have the
resources or favorable natural conditions for waste disposal to dedicate to a national
repository project. These countries would benefit from multinational co-operation
for the disposal.

Interest in the concept of a multinational repository for radioactive waste has
been expressed by several Member States and the waste management community in the
light of the potential benefit to the partner countries from the safety, technical
and economic standpoints. However, such an approach involves many political and
public acceptance issues and therefore a consensus among countries or regions
concerned is a prerequisite.

In this context, it was deemed appropriate that the IAEA assess the technical,
institutional, ethical and economic factors to be taken into account in the process
of such consensus building. This report is intended to provide an assessment which
can serve as a general basis for establishing a waste management policy and/or
further assessing specific issues such as ownership and liability, institutional
aspects and problems related to long term commitments.
