Technical Meeting on the Decision-making Process and Roles of Licence Holders and Regulators During Geological Disposal Development


Projekt:EVT2501992
Organizátor:IAEA
Místo konání:Madrid
Stát:Španělsko
Datum konání:24.11.2025 - 28.11.2025
Popis:The successful development and implementation of safe geological disposal facilities for radioactive waste require a robust and transparent decision-making framework involving close collaboration between license holders and regulatory bodies and engagement of other interested parties to build public confidence and ensure acceptance. For this to occur, all stakeholders (e.g. regulator, operator, public) need to understand (i) what will be decided when (aligned with regulatory milestones), (ii) what is the basis for each decision, (iii) what role does each stakeholder play, (iv) how is each stakeholder involved / engaged, and (v) what competence is required for each stakeholder to play its role. Page 2 This technical meeting/workshop provides a platform for detailing these topics and sharing associated good practice. The overarching objective is to describe and optimize the decision-making process, taking account of the inherent complexities of geological disposal. This workshop will foster a shared understanding of the decision-making framework, ensuring informed and timely decisions throughout all phases of development. The rationale rests on several key pillars: • Mapping Decisions: Identifying the sequence of decisions from conception to closure of a disposal facility. • Improving Decision Quality: Geological disposal involves intricate scientific, technical, regulatory, and societal considerations. Effective decision-making requires a clear understanding of each stakeholder's roles, responsibilities, and perspectives. • Optimizing Collaboration: The workshop aims to improve collaboration between license holders and regulators facilitating an understanding of their expectations and needs relevant to the safety of the facility and the decision-making framework. This includes establishing clear communication channels, defining shared objectives, and fostering a culture of mutual trust and respect. Efficient collaboration and regulator-operator interactions are crucial for navigating complex technical, regulatory, and societal challenges. • Ensuring Public Acceptance: Public confidence is essential for the successful implementation of geological disposal. This workshop will explore who should be involved in each decision as defined by the decision-making framework, that is designed to be inclusive and transparent, building public trust and promoting informed societal participation. This workshop will also explore how to build and maintain this trust through effective communication strategies. Capacity Building of Stakeholders: All stakeholders need to be able to perform their role in developing a safe geological disposal facility in a timely manner. The workshop will explore strategies for capacity building that will empower operators to develop a safe geological disposal facility in compliance with regulatory requirements; regulators to efficiently evaluate license submissions related to geological disposal; and the public to be involved and actively participate in the process.
Účastníci:Member States are invited to designate suitably qualified and experienced participants for the meeting. Participants should be drawn from organizations with responsibility for the management of radioactive waste, from regulatory bodies, from technical support or other organizations involved in activities related to the disposal of radioactive waste, particularly those working on planning, establishing or advancing geological disposal programmes. The involvement of other stakeholders, including representatives of local communities, interested in the topics of the event is also encouraged.
