Objective The objective of this proposed project is to develop the feasibility studies of SAPIERR (2003-5) into a practical implementation strategy and organisational structures that will enable a formalised, structured organisation to be established in 2008 for working on shared EU radioactive waste storage and disposal activities. Principal goals:1)Development of an organisational framework and project plan to facilitate debate on the establishment of a modestly sized, self-sufficient European Development Organisation (EDO) that can work in parallel with national waste agencies;2) Further studies of key issues related to economics, design, public and political attitudes and the safety and security of shared storage and disposal facilities. Main Tasks within the Project:1) Preparation of a management study on the legal and business options for establishing an EDO;2)A study on the legal liability issues of international waste transfer within Europe;3) A study of the potential economic implications of European regional repositories;4) First considerations of the safety and security impacts of implementing regional repositories;5) A survey of public and political attitudes towards regional repositories and of approaches to involving communities in decision making;6) Development of a Strategy and a Project Plan for the work of the organisation, EDO.The immediate tasks are agreeing a progressive, slow, staged strategy that would lead to the definition of potential host countries and eventually, to potential repository sites and definition of a parallel science and technology programme that could be addressed by the EDO after its initiation.
