The EAGE Technical Community on Radioactive Waste Disposal aims to bring together geoscientists and engineers engaged in all aspects of radioactive waste disposal.
Our objective is to facilitate knowledge exchange and, where possible, to coordinate research efforts in this field. Knowledge and experience from domains like the oil & gas or geothermal industry are very valuable resources in this context.
We seek to identify geoscientific and engineering techniques that can support the entire life cycle of deep geological disposal: from site selection, characterization to site decommissioning.
In particular, we invite the main actors involved in radioactive waste disposal worldwide, namely implementers, regulators and contractors from the industry and research organizations to join our new Technical Community on Radioactive Waste Disposal.
