Footnotes
1While the concept of a ‘safety case’ for waste management facilities and activities as outlined in this Safety Guide is used in many States, the terminology may be different in some States. In France, the term ‘dossier’ is used to describe the safety case. In Germany and Switzerland, the term ‘Sicherheitsnachweis’ is used, while in Spain, the term ‘estudio de seguridad’ is used.
2The term ‘facility’ as used in this Safety Guide means a facility with its associated land, buildings and equipment in which radioactive material is used, processed, handled or stored on such a scale that consideration of safety is required.
3The term ‘radioactive waste management facilities and activities’ also includes spent fuel management facilities and activities if the spent fuel is considered to be waste, and could be applied to similar activities where the spent fuel is considered to be a resource.
4INTERNATIONAL ATOMIC ENERGY AGENCY, Safety Assessment for Spent Fuel Storage Facilities: A Safety Practice, IAEA Safety Series No. 118, IAEA, Vienna (1995).
5The Joint Convention made use of the principles established in Principles of Radioactive Waste Management, IAEA Safety Series No. 111-F, IAEA, Vienna (1995), which were subsequently integrated into Ref. [1].
6The need for consistency does not preclude emphasizing different arguments depending on the audience, as people with different backgrounds may be convinced by different arguments.
Overall process
1The decision to consider remedial action, i.e. an intervention, for waste already in storage, as shown in Fig. IV–1, does not apply to waste that is in interim storage pending processing within a predisposal waste management activity. Rather, it applies to waste for which the decision to store it in its current form has already been made, so that any changes would be considered an intervention. Waste in interim storage would be treated in the same way as newly arising waste within an activity and it would be decided at the processing decision point whether processing is required.
Clearance or discharge
1For the sake of brevity, the acronym for this safety assessment refers to clearance only, but criteria and procedures for discharges are also addressed as appropriate.
