There is international agreement on the principles needed to meet this overall objective. These principles, and the rationale behind them, are outlined in the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) publication entitled Safety Fundamentals - The Principles of Radioactive Waste Management [1]. Requirements for the safe management of radioactive wastes and the requirements for establishing a national system for radioactive waste management are further desaibed in a series of RADWASS Safety Standards [2-7] as well as in other IAEA documente [8-11].
