A fundamental prerequisite for a sustainable waste management programme is the provision of financial resources to cover the costs of the programme. Developing reliable cost estimates and funding mechanisms can be challenging. Waste management does not stop when the nuclear power plant stops operating. A substantial amount of waste is generated by the decommissioning of the nuclear power plant and the disposal of high-level waste or spent fuel generated by the programme can only be done after several decades of cooling in an interim storage facility.
