Abstract
One of the top-level safety objectives for EU DEMO design and operation is to protect workers, the public and the environment from harm and thus to minimize radioactive waste hazards and volumes and ensure that the legacy to the future generation is limited.The objectives of the waste management strategy studies are to identify any showstoppers arising from the waste management or optimizations that could impact the design and operation of the facility and identify the R&D needed to ensure a safe management of these materials and waste.The following aspects are considered at this stage to anticipate and facilitate the waste management in particular with regards to waste that would require deep final disposal: limitation at source by selection of materials and impurities limiting the amount and toxicity of the waste, characterization of the fluxes, development of processes to reduce the waste radiotoxicity and amounts, definition of management routes and interim storage of waste.
