Compaction, cementation etc)  To build central storage facility  To store RW after the conditioning prior to disposal  To store SNF prior to disposal  To build Disposal facility  SNF: Return back to the supplier/ deep geological disposal  RW: Solid wastes (DSRS) – Return back to the supplier/ Borehole disposal Liquid wastes (LLW-SL) - delay and decay  Decommissioning of the RR ii.

9. Policy ElementPolicy StatementJustification SecurityThe licence holders of facilities generating radioactive waste will be responsible for the security of radioactive waste, until the waste is accepted by the waste management organization. -To prevent theft, lost and sabotage Waste minimizationThe licence holders of facilities generating radioactive waste will adopt measures for minimizing the generation of radioactive waste -Economic and social factors -Safety of the people and the environment Export/ ImportRadioactive waste will not be imported or exported unless approved by the government -International obligations -Safety and security purposes SF ManagementThe government (or the relevant ministry) will arrange the return of spent nuclear fuel from the research reactor to the country of its origin -International obligations -Safety and security purposes iv.

12. Purpose  This strategy specifies the technical means and measures for managing  the radioactive waste and SNF. Strategy statement (a) The waste management organization activities will be implemented according to the long term strategic plan and annual implementation plans, subject to governmental approval; (b) The waste management organization will develop an inventory of the existing radioactive waste in the country, including legacy waste, and a prediction of expected future radioactive waste. The inventory will be kept up to date and appropriate records maintained; (c) The waste management organization will establish a waste categorization scheme as a basis for the national radioactive waste inventory; STRATEGIES

13. (d) The waste management organization, in cooperation with the regulatory body, will create and maintain a database of facilities at which radioactive waste is generated with details of the nature and amounts of waste involved; (e) The waste management organization will establish and operate a system for the collection, characterization, transport, storage and processing of all radioactive waste generated. For this purpose, the waste management organization will specify the conditions under which the waste will be accepted from the waste generators; (f) The waste management organization will provide for the eventual disposal of all radioactive waste according to the approved strategy; (g) The waste management organization will report to the government on an annual basis concerning the activities performed in the period of the report, the amounts and types of radioactive waste that have been managed and on any other relevant issues. STRATEGIES

14.  Have to take into account the whole cycle for NPP (from siting to decommissioning) in developing Policy  Education and training for man power as the country is going for NPP in 10 years time and proposed facilities (eg. Treatment, storage and disposal facilities)  Treatment facility and central storage facility located at the same site – to overcome public acceptance issues, economic point of view etc  Policy developed should take into consideration of International obligations (Agreement, convention, Treaty etc)  Timeframe for the improvement need to be re-considered (too ambitious)  Timescale for the strategy should be identified COMMENTS FROM THE OBSERVERS
