Abstract
This is the second volume examining high level radioactive waste (HLW) disposal processes around the world. Volume I examined European and North American cases (Belgium, the Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States). Volume II looks at: Argentina, Brazil, Canada, China, Croatia, Japan, Hungary, Lithuania, Russia, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Korea, South Africa, and the Ukraine.
This article is part of the work of the Environmental Policy Research Centre (FFU) / FU Berlin within the ENTRIA project funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF/ 15S9082B): “Multi Level Governance-Perspective on management of nuclear waste disposal. A Comparative Analysis.” ENTRIA (www.entria.de) is the acronym for “Disposal options for radioactive residues: Interdisciplinary analyses and development of evaluation principles”.
