The project summary will be published after the completion of the project.
Project purpose is to propose and develop suitable generic conceptual designs of disposal facilities, construct generic safety assessments and develop preliminary waste acceptance criteria for the disposal of radioactive waste, including:
• Vitrified high-level radioactive waste (reprocessed nuclear fuel);
• Spent nuclear fuel that is not to be reprocessed;
• Fuel containing masses from Shelter object;
• Waste  of  the  VVER-1000  nuclear  fuel  production  from  the  Ukrainian nuclear fuel production plant;
• Long-lived low- and intermediate-level radioactive waste1;
• High-level radioactive waste1;
• Disused sealed radiation sources;
• Salt cakes from NPPs
• Waste generated as a result of production and processing of uranium ore;
• Very low-level radioactive waste, if this category is to be included into the new scheme of waste classification in Ukraine.
The proposed conceptual designs shall be justified on the basis of (1) adequate radiological safety for the environment and future human generations (who shall be protected to at least the same level as the present generation) and (2) cost- effectiveness.
