KETEP 세계에너지시장정보

Countries operating nuclear reactors are responsible for providing geological disposal capacity for high-level radioactive waste. The internationally well-established approach for such disposal is a mined deep geological repository (DGR). Canada, Finland, France, Sweden and Switzerland have the most advanced DGR programmes.

The IAEA fulfils its nuclear verification mission by implementing a series of technical measures — safeguards — to oversee nuclear facilities, materials and activities

By 2025, the EP and DGR facilities in Finland will be fully operational for the emplacement of spent nuclear fuel. Together, through collaboration and innovation, the IAEA, the European Commission and the STUK are implementing effective and efficient safeguards that achieve the IAEA’s verification objectives, while ensuring minimal impact to the operation of the facilities.
