Basis and Status of EURATOM Waste Management Research

Nuclear waste disposal research is promoted on a European Union level by different programmes and activities. The legal basis is the EURATOM treaty, signed 25 March 1957 in Rom as one of the two founding trea¬ties of what has become the European Union. Key actors for implementation of such research programmes and associated nuclear waste disposal activities are Director¬ate General “Research and Innovation (DG RTD), DG Energy and Transport (DG ENER), DG Joint Research Centre, Institute for Transuranium Elements (DG JRC-ITU) and the “Implementing Geological Disposal Tech¬nology Platform (IGD-TP). Some key aspects of the roles and contributions by these key actors are presented and discussed below. Exhaustive information including a complete spectrum of their respective activities can be found on their respective homepages.
