Results of the Advisory Board Results and recommendations of the Austrian Board for Radioactive Waste Management
The Austrian Board for Radioactive Waste Management - Advisory Board - was commissioned by the Federal Government to advise it on matters relating to the implementation of the National Programme for the Management of Radioactive Waste. As a first step, the Advisory Board was given a mandate to prepare the following four points:
- Point 1: Radioactive Waste in Austria: Survey of the Status Quo
- Point 2: Analysis of the Options for Final Disposal
- Point 3: Framework for Public Participation
- Point 4: Development of a Timetable for the Disposal of Radioactive Waste
The results of the work of the Advisory Board are based on discussions and presentations at the meetings of the Advisory Board and its committees as well as on commissioned reports on various topics, study trips carried out and exchanges of experience with other countries.
The recommendations now drawn up by the Advisory Board contain first implementation proposals for the final disposal of Austria's radioactive waste, taking into account technical, economic and social aspects.
The report of the Advisory Board contains the results, recommendations and decision-making basis for the Federal Government as well as proposals for the implementation of the National Programme for the Management of Radioactive Waste. It was presented to Federal Minister Gewessler on behalf of the Federal Government on October 2, 2024. The report includes a collection of recommendations, a participation concept as well as a timetable and raodmap.
