HARmonised PracticEs, Regulations and Standards in waste management and decommissioning

Descrizione del progetto

Andare di pari passo: gestione e disattivazione dei rifiuti radioattivi negli Stati membri

Le direttive dell’Unione europea sono diverse da paese a paese per quanto concerne lo smantellamento nucleare e la gestione pre-smaltimento delle attività legate ai rifiuti radioattivi, un fatto dovuto al loro adattamento ai fattori locali e alle politiche nazionali. L’interpretazione delle pratiche di gestione dei rifiuti negli Stati membri, nonché l’istituzione di politiche in questo ambito, possono pertanto risultare difficoltose. Il progetto HARPERS, finanziato dall’UE, lavorerà al fine di armonizzare l’applicazione del quadro normativo internazionale in materia di gestione e disattivazione dei rifiuti radioattivi negli Stati membri. HARPERS raggiungerà questo obiettivo individuando e chiarendo i vantaggi e il valore aggiunto apportati da normative e standard maggiormente allineati e armonizzati.

Obiettivo

The project aims to establish and clarify the benefits and added value of more aligned and harmonised regulations and standards for prioritised topics related to decommissioning and initial phases of radioactive waste handling, including shared processing facilities between Member States (MS).

The project has a two-phase approach: first engaging with Stakeholders to assess needs and pros/cons for harmonisation and identify priority areas for deeper analysis (WP2). The second phase will pursue deeper engagement with Stakeholders to further assess the highest ranked priority areas in Work Packages (WP) focusing on (i) cross border services and cooperation (WP3), (ii) circular economy (WP4), and (iii) advanced technologies (WP5). These WPs will review (inter)national practices, capture lessons learned, and assess opportunities. WP6 on Regulatory Framework will identify regulatory differences between MS and evaluate strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats associated with harmonisation, while quantifying the benefits of aligned regulations and proposing harmonisation methodologies.

The project will:
- support coordination between Stakeholders,
- enhance existing commitments to facilitate sharing and exchange of knowledge and experience,
- develop strategies for shared treatment and storage facilities, cross border services and cooperation, and explore additional mechanisms to build capacity in MS,
- assess and clarify the benefits and any disadvantages of harmonisation,
- deliver S&T-based solutions and share best practices by engaging and supporting coordination between different actors through the TSOs and regulators,
- define conditions and opportunities of a high safety circular economy.

The action will reinforce the activities of the EURAD, PREDIS, and SHARE projects, while encompassing MS national programs and the wider European Community, including i.e. ERDO, ENSREG, WENRA, IAEA, OECD NEA, IGDTP, SNETP, DigiDecom.
