3rd Plenary June 2013
Final Plenary November 2014
Objectives:
APPLY GSG-3, SADRWMS methodology, SAFRAN Tool
PROVIDE a forum for application of the methodology and SAFRAN tool
DEVELOP, document Safety Reports TECDOCs illustrating application of GSG-3
Facility/process specific
Safety Case Process/Regulatory Review 4

5. SADRWMS Project Safety Assessment Driving Radioactive Waste Management Solutions
Long-term Project
1st Plenary Meeting in 2003
Final Plenary in 2010
Objectives:
EXAMINE the application of safety assessment methodology (ISAM, ASAM)
DEVELOP, document
Safety Assessment Methodology
Regulatory Review
---> GSG-3
INTEGRATE methodology into software tool (SAFRAN)
NEW!!!

6. CRAFT Working Methods Radon Type Facility Application Case
develop illustrative test case(s) for applying the IAEA methodology/tools to RADON type facilities (on the base of RW retrieval activity at Murmansk RADON);
Storage and Processing Facility
Apply IAEA methodology/tools to facilities for the storage and processing of RW
2 facilities: Central Storage Facility in Slovenia, Waste Processing Facility in Serbia.
Regulatory Interactions
Apply IAEA methodology/tools in regulatory review of WG application cases, and provide recommendations
Integrated into the Application WGs 6

7. Radon Type Facility WG Background
The system of RADON enterprises was established the USSR in early 1960s
collection, transportation, processing and disposal of LILW wastes and DSRS, generated or used in medicine, research institutions, various branches of industry
35 “Radon” facilities in the Soviet Union
16 of them in the Russian Federation
Designed and operated as disposal facilities for institutional LILW without intention of the retrieval
Do not meet current safety requirement for
NSD (long lived alpha emitters, high active DSRS)
Long term storage (inspection, retrievability etc.)

8. Radon Type Facility WG Background
Operators of RADON type facilities are required to perform safety assessment to support decision making
Decision making depends not only from the safety issues but from socio-political, technical and economic aspects
Most common options include:
decommissioning of facility
upgraded storage facility
upgraded disposal facility
Measures considered:
partial or complete RW retrieval & conditioning
reconstruction

9. Radon Type Facility WG Background
Typical historical repositories are vaults below ground level with volumes m3
basement made of concrete plates,
walls made of monolithic reinforced concrete or concrete blocks,
divided with concrete or wooden walls into cells (sections),
the top is covered with reinforced concrete plates, sand and waterproof asphalt layer

10. Radon Type Facility WG OBJECTIVES
Develop illustrative test case(s) for applying the GSG-3 methodology to RADON type facilities with links to the use of the SAFRAN or other tools (on the basis of RW retrieval activity at Murmansk RADON);
Adopt the safety assessment methodology presented in the GSG-3 for the RADON type facilities (including RAW retrieval);
Provide Member States with the supporting information for decision making regarding the future of existing historical RADON-type facilities 10

11. Radon Type Facility WG Work plan
By June 2013:
Final versions of the test cases approved by the working group
Discussion of the draft methodology
Consultation with the Regulatory WG
By June 2014:
Approval of the methodology for the RADON Type Facilities safety assessment by the working group

12. Regulatory Interactions WG
OBJECTIVES
Check compliance of GSG-3 methodology and SAFRAN tool for regulatory review of WG application cases
TASKS
Review of SAFRAN models, specifically SAFCALC and regulatory modules
Develop guidance for regulatory review of application cases
Review and further development of regulatory review tools such as the “SAFREQ” module
Develop guidance for graded approach for safety assessment. 12

13. 17-21 June 2013 Meeting
19 specialists from 13 MS (Canada, Croatia, Cuba, France, Germany, Lithuania, Norway, Russian Federation, Serbia, Slovenia, Sweden, Ukraine, United Kingdom, United States of America)
Chair: Mr. Chris Fisher (UK)
Co-chair: Mr. Frederic Ledroit (France)
IAEA Scientific Secretary: Monika Kinker

14. Objectives of the 2013 Meeting
CRAFT Working Groups
Work done to date
Publication of GSG-3, SADRWMS Methodology
GSG-3: April 2013 (May 3rd most viewed)
SADRWMS TECDOC: 4Q 2013?
“Mediterranean Project”
Reinforcing SA capabilities using SAFRAN
Norwegian Sponsorship
Support development, documentation of the CRAFT RADON-type Facility Application Case

15. Future Activities RADON WG RW Storage and Processing WG
October in Stockholm, Sweden. starts development of the initial version of the draft report of the Application of the Safety Case and Safety Assessment Methodology using SAFRAN Tool for RADON-type facilities (on the basis of the Murmansk RADON facility).
RW Storage and Processing WG
December in Zagreb, Croatia. will host a national workshop on the IAEA methodology and tools for the development and review of the SC and SA. WG will use their working material to further develop their report and to get feedback.
RW Regulatory WG
1Q 2014 in Zagreb, Croatia. will host a national workshop
Final Plenary proposed for November 2014 in Vienna
