Societatea Nationala “Nuclearelectrica” (SNN) – CNE PROD Cernavoda: www.cne.ro
Project Aims

  • To contribute to the definition of a safe management strategy for radioactive waste in Romania;
  • To improve current waste characterisation procedure for entire radioactive waste life cycle;
  • To provide methodologies and training to operators of the Cernavoda NPP in the field of radioactive waste characterisation;
  • To supply relevant measuring equipment for radioactive waste characterisation.

Project Results

  • Availability of methodologies for characterising the radionuclide content in low and intermediate level waste;
  • Measuring equipment for waste characterisation in place;
  • Capability of personnel of Cernavoda NPP to implement the characterisation programme;
  • Establishment of a database on waste characterisation;
  • Waste segregation according to disposal route (e.g. free release, disposal in a landfill, disposal in a near-surface repository, and long-term storage pending the availability of a deep gelogical repository).

The budget for this project was: 650 000 euro.
