CRAFT (Complimentary Safety Reports: Development and Application to Waste Management Facilities) 3 Year Project 1st Plenary May 2011 2nd Plenary June 2012 3rd Plenary June 2013 Final Plenary November 2014 Objectives: APPLY GSG-3, SADRWMS methodology, SAFRAN Tool PROVIDE a forum for application of the methodology and SAFRAN tool DEVELOP, document Safety Reports TECDOCs illustrating application of GSG-3 Facility/process specific Safety Case Process/Regulatory Review 4

SADRWMS Project Safety Assessment Driving Radioactive Waste Management Solutions Long-term Project 1st Plenary Meeting in 2003 Final Plenary in 2010 Objectives: EXAMINE the application of safety assessment methodology (ISAM, ASAM) DEVELOP, document Safety Assessment Methodology Regulatory Review ---> GSG-3 INTEGRATE methodology into software tool (SAFRAN) NEW!!!

CRAFT Working Methods Radon Type Facility Application Case develop illustrative test case(s) for applying the IAEA methodology/tools to RADON type facilities (on the base of RW retrieval activity at Murmansk RADON); Storage and Processing Facility Apply IAEA methodology/tools to facilities for the storage and processing of RW 2 facilities: Central Storage Facility in Slovenia, Waste Processing Facility in Serbia. Regulatory Interactions Apply IAEA methodology/tools in regulatory review of WG application cases, and provide recommendations Integrated into the Application WGs 6

Radon Type Facility WG Background The system of RADON enterprises was established the USSR in early 1960s collection, transportation, processing and disposal of LILW wastes and DSRS, generated or used in medicine, research institutions, various branches of industry 35 “Radon” facilities in the Soviet Union 16 of them in the Russian Federation Designed and operated as disposal facilities for institutional LILW without intention of the retrieval Do not meet current safety requirement for NSD (long lived alpha emitters, high active DSRS) Long term storage (inspection, retrievability etc.)

Radon Type Facility WG Background Operators of RADON type facilities are required to perform safety assessment to support decision making Decision making depends not only from the safety issues but from socio-political, technical and economic aspects Most common options include: decommissioning of facility upgraded storage facility upgraded disposal facility Measures considered: partial or complete RW retrieval & conditioning reconstruction

Radon Type Facility WG Background Typical historical repositories are vaults below ground level with volumes 200 - 9000 m3 basement made of concrete plates, walls made of monolithic reinforced concrete or concrete blocks, divided with concrete or wooden walls into cells (sections), the top is covered with reinforced concrete plates, sand and waterproof asphalt layer

Radon Type Facility WG OBJECTIVES Develop illustrative test case(s) for applying the GSG-3 methodology to RADON type facilities with links to the use of the SAFRAN or other tools (on the basis of RW retrieval activity at Murmansk RADON); Adopt the safety assessment methodology presented in the GSG-3 for the RADON type facilities (including RAW retrieval); Provide Member States with the supporting information for decision making regarding the future of existing historical RADON-type facilities 10

Radon Type Facility WG Work plan By June 2013: Final versions of the test cases approved by the working group Discussion of the draft methodology Consultation with the Regulatory WG By June 2014: Approval of the methodology for the RADON Type Facilities safety assessment by the working group

Regulatory Interactions WG OBJECTIVES Check compliance of GSG-3 methodology and SAFRAN tool for regulatory review of WG application cases TASKS Review of SAFRAN models, specifically SAFCALC and regulatory modules Develop guidance for regulatory review of application cases Review and further development of regulatory review tools such as the “SAFREQ” module Develop guidance for graded approach for safety assessment. 12

17-21 June 2013 Meeting 19 specialists from 13 MS (Canada, Croatia, Cuba, France, Germany, Lithuania, Norway, Russian Federation, Serbia, Slovenia, Sweden, Ukraine, United Kingdom, United States of America) Chair: Mr. Chris Fisher (UK) Co-chair: Mr. Frederic Ledroit (France) IAEA Scientific Secretary: Monika Kinker

Objectives of the 2013 Meeting CRAFT Working Groups Work done to date Publication of GSG-3, SADRWMS Methodology GSG-3: April 2013 (May 3rd most viewed) SADRWMS TECDOC: 4Q 2013? “Mediterranean Project” Reinforcing SA capabilities using SAFRAN Norwegian Sponsorship Support development, documentation of the CRAFT RADON-type Facility Application Case Policy implications of legacy waste sites, especially those in close proximity to Norway 14

Future Activities RADON WG RW Storage and Processing WG October in Stockholm, Sweden. starts development of the initial version of the draft report of the Application of the Safety Case and Safety Assessment Methodology using SAFRAN Tool for RADON-type facilities (on the basis of the Murmansk RADON facility). RW Storage and Processing WG December in Zagreb, Croatia. will host a national workshop on the IAEA methodology and tools for the development and review of the SC and SA. WG will use their working material to further develop their report and to get feedback. RW Regulatory WG 1Q 2014 in Zagreb, Croatia. will host a national workshop Final Plenary proposed for November 2014 in Vienna
