INVENTORY AND PLANNING
WNE 2014
3
The National Inventory and the National
Management Plan
Two essential and complementary instruments for
a clear, rigorous, safe and consistent management
of all radioactive materials and waste
The National Inventory
(IN)
Then IN relies on the results
of PNGMDR actions
PNGMDR working group
monitors the progresses
of the various prescribed
actions
IN identifies all stocks of
radioactive materials and waste
and provides forecasts
The National
Management Plan
(PNGMDR)
IN feeds
PNGMDR implements final
solutions for all types of
waste through agreed
actions – Issued by Decree
4
National Inventory objectives
• To inform in a transparent way:
• On the current situation (snap-shot)
• With forecast considering various scenarios
• Help anticipating management solutions and
contribution to energy policy choices

The French National Plan for Management
of Radioactive Materials and Waste
(PNGMDR)
• Prescribed in the 28 June 2006 Planning Act concerning the
management of radioactive materials and waste
• Updated every 3 years
• Major tool for the management of materials and waste, ensuring
the inclusion of robust and adaptable scenarios
• Developed and maintained within a pluralistic working group
• Transmitted to Parliament and assessed by the Parliamentary
Office for the Evaluation of Scientific and Technological Options
• Promulgated by a decree prescribing the actions to be
performed
7
Major outcomes of the 2013-2015 Plan
• Steps taken for managing high-level wastes
•
The Cigéo geological disposal, Public Debate, Licence application
•
Storage capacities review, considering the delivery sequences at
the geological repository
• Management scenarios for low-level long-lived waste
•
Sorting, processing of graphite and of bituminized wastes
•
Siting
• Global schemes in order to optimize RWM
•
Improving sorting, characterization, processing
•
Recycling and saving resources
•
Anticipating more construction of new facilities

Conclusion
• Existing industrial solutions for 90% (by volume) of the
radioactive waste produced each year in France (LILW,
VLLW)
• Implementing long-term management solutions for HLW,
ILW-LL and LL-LL
• Checking in parallel, the adequacy of storage capacity
with the projected inventories and the availability of
disposal facilities
• Studies are conducted to identify further management
options

(ca 800 m3) including more
than 50% of alfa bearing
waste (dismantled smoke
detectors, depleted uranium,
and also Sr-90 +Y-90, H-3, Cs137, Co-60 and others).
All waste in facility no.1 are
segregated according to

Conclusion
Key messages about geological disposal (1)
Geological disposal is a complex issue (multiple
dimensions, extremely long timescales, multiple
regulations, wide variety of actors, etc.)
Postponing geological disposal work is unethical
- it is unethical to transfer undue burdens to future
generations
- geological disposal is technically feasible and provides
unparalleled protection
- there is no alternative to geological disposal
- storage is a temporary solution
A supra-national framework promotes the safe
(long-term) management of radioactive waste
Key messages about geological disposal (2)
Through exchange of experience, peer reviews
and joint projects, the international community helps
define best practices
Cultural, societal, and geographical similarities and
differences have resulted in a variety of paths towards
implementing national disposal solutions
Societal support is a critical factor for the siting
and implementation of disposal facilities
There is awareness that the decision-making process
must progress in steps, be participative and adaptable

Conclusion
Organisation of a comprehensive waste management system,
including its financing
Development of robust and optimised roadmaps for SF and
RW management towards disposal, including transportation
Licensing the first geological repositories for HLW/SF and
for other long-lived wastes
Industrial implementation of deep geological disposal
Effective decommissioning
Management of LLW and special types of radioactive waste
Knowledge management and long-term preservation of
records, knowledge and memory

Conclusion
Conclusion
Each disposal solution is unique as it is the result of a
systemic approach taking into account the waste to be
disposed of, the engineered barriers, the geological
formation and the site
Whatever the solution envisaged, it is necessary to bear in
mind that disposal facilities are SCARCE RESOURCES
and must, therefore, be allocated efficiently
This means that disposal facilities must be filled in an
optimal way (for instance, surface disposal facilities are
designed to accommodate large waste volumes)
