Abstract

Radioactive substances and ionising radiation are used in medicine, industry, agriculture, research, education and electricity production. This generates radioactive waste. In the Netherlands, this waste is collected, treated and stored by COVRA (Centrale Organisatie Voor Radioactief Afval). After interim storage for a period of at least 100 years, radioactive waste is intended for disposal. There is a world-wide scientific and technical consensus that geological disposal represents the safest and most sustainable end point for the management of radioactive waste (e.g. Council Directive, 2011).
