Development of the Strategic Research Agenda of the Implementing Geological Disposal of Radioactive Waste Technology Platform -11020
2020Co-Authors: M Palmu, Gerald OuzounianAbstract:ABSTRACT Several European waste management organizations have established a technology platform to accelerate the implementation of deep geological disposal of radioactive waste in Europe. European waste management programmes in Sweden, Finland, and France are prepared to start the licensing process of deep geological disposal facilities within this decade. A technology platform called Implementing Geological Disposal of Radioactive Waste (IGD-TP) was launched in November 2009. A vision report of the platform was prepared during 2008-2009 and it was presented at the Launch event in Brussels stating that "Our vision is that by 2025, the first geological disposal facilities for spent fuel, highlevel waste, and other long-lived radioactive waste will be operating safely in Europe." By the end of 2010 about sixty different organisations had joined the IGD-TP and committed to share its vision. The IGD-TP intends to constitute a tool for reducing overlapping work, to produce savings in total costs of Research and implementation, and to make better use of existing competence and Research infrastructures. A working group to develop a Strategic Research Agenda (SRA) for the IGD-TP was set up in January 2010. Intensive effort has been carried out to define and prioritize the key Research, Development and Demonstration (RD&D) topics that address the remaining scientific, technological and social challenges needed to support the realization of the vision. In the work process, a methodology for coming up with the Key Topics in RD&D was developed and a seminar for all committed participants of the IGD-TP was organised to ensure that relevant input from the deep geological disposal community was taken into account in the work. The SRA document is published after an open consultation in early 2011. This paper presents the development of this SRA. Despite the differences between the timing and the challenges of the different waste management programmes, there is a joint awareness that cooperation on the scientific, technical, and social challenges related to geological disposal is needed, and the cooperation will be beneficial for the timely and safe implementation of the first geological disposal facilities

towards an implementing geological disposal technology platform in europe
Mineralogical Magazine, 2012Co-Authors: M Palmu, T Eng, T M BeattieAbstract:Several European waste management organizations have started work on creating a technology platform to accelerate the implementation of deep geological disposal of radioactive waste in Europe. There is an increasing consensus in the international community about geological disposal as the preferred option for solving the long-term management of spent fuel, high-level waste and other long-lived radioactive wastes. At the same time, European citizens have a widespread desire for a permanent solution for high-level radioactive waste disposal. A majority of European countries with nuclear power have active waste-management programmes, but the current status and the main challenges of those programmes vary. The most advanced waste management programmes in Europe (i.e. those in Sweden, Finland and France) are prepared to start the licensing process of deep geological disposal facilities within the next decade. Despite the differences between the timing and the challenges of the different programmes, there is a joint awareness that cooperation on the scientific, technical and social challenges related to geological disposal is needed, and that it is beneficial for the timely and safe implementation of the first geological disposal facilities. Such a demonstration of a viable solution for the management of high-level radioactive waste will enhance stakeholder confidence in Europe. It is envisaged that a technology platform would enhance European cooperation in this area. The platform will provide a tool for reducing overlapping work, to produce savings in total costs of Research and implementation, and to make better use of existing competence and Research infrastructures. From 2008, SKB (Sweden) and Posiva (Finland) led the preparation work to set up the implementing geological disposal of radioactive waste technology platform (IGD-TP). Since then other implementers from France, Germany, Switzerland, United Kingdom, Spain and Belgium have joined the project. To date a Strategic Research Agenda for the platform has been prepared and consulted upon, which is now the basis for taking the platform into a deployment phase.

implementing geological disposal of radioactive waste technology platform from the Strategic Research Agenda to its deployment 12015
2012Co-Authors: Gerald Ouzounian, M PalmuAbstract:Several European waste management organizations (WMOs) have initiated a technology platform for accelerating the implementation of deep geological disposal of radioactive waste in Europe. The most advanced waste management programmes in Europe (i.e. Finland, Sweden, and France) have already started or are prepared to start the licensing process of deep geological disposal facilities within the next decade. A technology platform called Implementing Geological Disposal of Radioactive Waste Technology Platform (IGD-TP) was launched in November 2009. A shared vision report for the platform was published stating that: "Our vision is that by 2025, the first geological disposal facilities for spent fuel, high-level waste, and other long-lived radioactive waste will be operating safely in Europe." In 2011, the IGD-TP had eleven WMO members and about 70 participants from academia, Research, and the industry committed to its vision. The IGD-TP has started to become a tool for reducing overlapping work, to produce savings in total costs of Research and implementation and to make better use of existing competence and Research infrastructures. The main contributor to this is the deployment of the IGD-TP's newly published Strategic Research Agenda (SRA). The work undertaken for the SRA defined the pending Research, development and demonstration (RD&D) issues and needs. The SRA document describing the identified issues that could be worked on collaboratively was published in July 2011. It is available on the project’s public website (www.igdtp.eu). The SRA was organized around 7 Key Topics covering the Safety Case, Waste forms and their behaviour, Technical feasibility and long-term performance of repository components, Development strategy of the repository, Safety of construction and operations, Monitoring, and Governance and stakeholder involvement. Individual Topics were prioritized within the Key Topics. Cross-cutting activities like Education & Training or Knowledge Management as well as activities remaining specific for the WMOs were as well identified in the document. For example, each WMO has to develop their own waste acceptance rules, and plan for the economics and the funding of their waste management programmes.

an updated Strategic Research Agenda for the integration of radioecology in the european radiation protection Research
Journal of Environmental Radioactivity, 2021Co-Authors: Rodolphe Gilbin, N A Beresford, Thuro Arnold, Catherine Berthomieu, J E Brown, Nele Horemans, M J Madruga, Olivier Masson, Mohammed Merroun, Boguslav MichalikAbstract:Abstract The ALLIANCE Strategic Research Agenda (SRA) for radioecology is a living document that defines a long-term vision (20 years) of the needs for, and implementation of, Research in radioecology in Europe. The initial SRA, published in 2012, included consultation with a wide range of stakeholders (Hinton et al., 2013). This revised version is an update of the Research strategy for identified Research challenges, and includes a strategy to maintain and develop the associated required capacities for workforce (education and training) and Research infrastructures and capabilities. Beyond radioecology, this SRA update constitutes a contribution to the implementation of a Joint Roadmap for radiation protection Research in Europe (CONCERT, 2019a). This roadmap, established under the H2020 European Joint Programme CONCERT, provides a common and shared vision for radiation protection Research, priority areas and Strategic objectives for collaboration within a European radiation protection Research programme to 2030 and beyond. Considering the advances made since the first SRA, this updated version presents Research challenges and priorities including identified scientific issues that, when successfully resolved, have the potential to impact substantially and strengthen the system and/or practice of the overall radiation protection (game changers) in radioecology with regard to their integration into the global vision of European Research in radiation protection. An additional aim of this paper is to encourage contribution from Research communities, end users, decision makers and other stakeholders in the evaluation, further advancement and accomplishment of the identified priorities.

Strategic Research Agenda for biomedical imaging
'Springer Science and Business Media LLC', 2019Co-Authors: Silvio Aime, Owen J. Arthurs, A Alberich, A Almen, H Barthel, Olivier Clement, M Crean, N De Souza, F Demuth, Marc DeweyAbstract:This Strategic Research Agenda identifies current challenges and needs in healthcare, illustrates how biomedical imaging and derived data can help to address these, and aims to stimulate dedicated Research funding efforts. Medicine is currently moving towards a more tailored, patient-centric approach by providing personalised solutions for the individual patient. Innovation in biomedical imaging plays a key role in this process as it addresses the current needs for individualised prevention, treatment, therapy response monitoring, and image-guided surgery. The use of non-invasive biomarkers facilitates better therapy prediction and monitoring, leading to improved patient outcomes. Innovative diagnostic imaging technologies provide information about disease characteristics which, coupled with biological, genetic and -omics data, will contribute to an individualised diagnosis and therapy approach. In the emerging field of theranostics, imaging tools together with therapeutic agents enable the selection of best treatments and allow tailored therapeutic interventions. For prenatal monitoring, the use of innovative imaging technologies can ensure an early detection of malfunctions or disease. The application of biomedical imaging for diagnosis and management of lifestyle-induced diseases will help to avoid disease development through lifestyle changes. Artificial intelligence and machine learning in imaging will facilitate the improvement of image interpretation and lead to better disease prediction and therapy planning. As biomedical imaging technologies and analysis of existing imaging data provide solutions to current challenges and needs in healthcare, appropriate funding for dedicated Research is needed to implement the innovative approaches for the wellbeing of citizens and patients
