Abstract
AbstractENTRAP comprises a pan-European cooperation of leading scientific institutions and regulatory bodies in the field of nuclear-waste characterization and its quality assurance for the safe disposal of radioactive waste. Here, the scope of this cooperation is presented and explained and links or interfaces for a potential collaboration with partners fulfilling tasks of IDG-TP are pursued.
Highlights
IN the early 1980s, quality assurance (QA) policies were introduced in the field of nuclear-waste management
ENTRAP has been involved in: a discussion forum, including technical visits; various research and development (R&D) proposals which have been developed, and which have resulted in European Union (EU)-funded projects; many bi- or multilateral co-operations; many radioactive-waste management schemes which have commenced for mutual benefit; large-volume controls (significant topics for destructive assay (DA) and non-destructive assay (NDA)); and significant scientific output
An example of the involvement of ENTRAP member laboratories has been the round robin tests (RRTs) on the destructive analysis of irradiated graphite within the Carbowaste EU-project which has resulted in the creation of a ‘cookbook’ for the analysis of volatile but safety-relevant nuclei, e.g. Cl-36
