Technical Meeting on Integrated Approaches to the Back End of the Fuel Cycle

The purpose of this?event is to collect, share and discuss information on processes and best practices for systematically identifying and evaluating potential impacts of decisions taken in one step on subsequent steps within the nuclear fuel cycle.

The event will also present examples of effective management approaches based on the experience of Member States in order to minimize such impacts in the nuclear fuel cycle, with an emphasis on the back end of the fuel cycle.

The event will also serve to inform practitioners about recent developments in the back end of the fuel cycle.

The outputs from the event will be used as the basis for developing an updated and complementary version of Potential Interface Issues in Spent Fuel Management (IAEA-TECDOC-1774).
