There is international consensus that geological repositories can provide the long-term safety and security necessary to isolate long-lived radioactive waste from the human environment over extended timescales. Significant progress has been made in this field in recent years, although many challenges remain. During this event, senior representatives from the regulatory bodies of six countries at the forefront of deep geological repository (DGR) development will provide updates on their national progress. This will be followed by a panel debate, focusing on the role of regulatory bodies. This event is organized by Canada, Finland, France, Sweden, Switzerland and the USA. This event is organized by Sweden.

This event will be held on Wednesday, 17 September 2025, from 09.30 a.m. to 11.00 a.m. in Conference Room CR3, C Building, seventh floor.
