‘Radioactive waste management essentials: involvement, local participation and integration’ – January 2006

Paper on the way in which the waste management company in Belgium turned around its programme for the disposal of low-level short-lived waste, to include the local stakeholders in the decision making process. As a result, local partnerships were established with the municipalities of the possible repository sites. This paper follows the working of such a local partnership, “STOLA”, up to the integrated project for the disposal site that was worked out and the request for a continued stakeholder involvement on all nuclear matters in the region concerned.
