EURAD-2 is following the EURAD-1 (2019 to 2024) EU programme.
2nd CLIMATE WP workshop 🗓 28-29 January 2026
On 📆 28-29th January 🔎 Nuclear Transparency Watch has organized a workshop at the Université de Liège 🇧🇪 in the frame of the European Joint Programme on Radioactive Waste Management 🇪🇺 EURAD-2 to focus on impact of climate change on nuclear waste management.
The workshop started by a technical visit of HADES underground laboratory 🔬, at the SCK CEN site in Mol. Here, 225 meters below ground in the Boom clay, scientist have been conducting research into the geological disposal of long-lived and/or high-level waste ☢️🛢️ for 40 years.
Then some innovative methods of interaction were proposed:
👉 the PEP (Pathway Evaluation Process) tool of dialogue dedicated to climate change impacts on RWM (read more about this tool here).
👉 a World Café ☕ discussion.
Finally, two sessions tackled the following topics:
👉 public participation in processes on climate change impacts.
👉 a session on recommendations for future research
2nd “Interaction with Civil Society” (ICS) workshop 🗓 26-27 January 2026
On 📆 26-27th January 🔎 Nuclear Transparency Watch has organized a workshop at the Université de Liège 🇧🇪 in the frame of the European Joint Programme on Radioactive Waste Management 🇪🇺 EURAD-2 to focus on interactions with the civil society members involved.
The following topics discussed were the following:
👉 Alternative radioactive waste management strategies
👉 Impact of climate change on nuclear waste management
👉 Waste management for Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) and future fuels
👉 High-level waste repository optimisation including closure
👉 Evaluation of the interaction with civil society activities
1st FORSAFF WP seminar 🗓23-24 April 2025
Small Modular Reactors waste🛢️☢️ were addressed during the FORSAFF seminar 1 from 23-24 April 2025 🗓 at the ASNR‘ facility in Fontenay-aux-Roses 🇫🇷 gathering around 50 participants in person or online.
This Work Package dedicated to Small Modular Reactors waste 🛢️☢️ had 2 objectives:
• to identify stakeholder perceptions and concerns related to SMR waste management and develop recommendations for transparent information exchange and dialogue including improving communication with the public.
• to discuss on topic “Policy and Regulatory Framework” with challenges posed to existing policies and regulations by introduction of SMRs and associated spent fuel and radioactive wastes.
A good part of the seminar was dedicated to civil society concerns with some time for working groups exchanging on different challenging cases.
1st CLIMATE WP workshop 🗓 26-27 March 2025
Radioactive waste 🛢️☢️ and climate change impacts 🔥 🌊 were addressed during the 1st Climate workshop from 26-27 March 2025 🗓 at the Mines’ facility in Fontainebleau. A technical visit focusing on climate change impacts in Nemours 🇫🇷 (CEREEP center) launched this event.
Presentation, analysis, cross-study of keynote papers prepared by different waste management actors, including civil society, helped the 41 participants in elaborating shared viewpoints and outcomes regarding the prior topics to be considered.
1st “Interaction with Civil Society” (ICS) workshop 🗓 24-25 March 2025
at Mines-Paris’ facility on 
24-25 March 2025 with participants from many 
European countries to exchange on 
radioactive waste.
This workshop which has been organised by NTW was particularly dedicated to the general overview of the programme’s 4 “Strategic Studies”:
CLIMATE (impact of climate change);OPTI (HLW repository optimisation including closure);ASTRA (alternatives RWM strategies) andFORSAFF (WM for SMRs and future fuels).
