  2. Deep Geological Disposal – necessary and inevitable part of the nuclear fuel cycle in all currently feasible and future scenarios Basic requirements: - Safety - Technical feasibility - Cost-effectiveness - Public acceptance • on national level • on local level (host region) Regional (international) repositories stable development scheme – all participating states prepared to accept foreign waste Deep Geological Repository – Basic Requirements RADIOTIVE WASTE REPOSITORY AUTHORITY Liblice 25-28th March 2008 2

Radioactivity Operational and longterm safety Transport of waste Terrorismus Image of the region Prices of immobilities Employment and business potential Local tourismus Landscape and nature character Construction phase – transport etc. Local life-style Decision-making and role of local inhabitants Import of foreign waste - Impact on health and health of children - New, untested technology, extreme time intervals - Potential of accidents - Repository and transport as potencil target of terrorists attacks - Drop in prestige, negative image - Decrease in prices - Opportunities only for uneducated peoples and external experts - Declining potential - Demaged landscape and nature - Transport of big amount of excavated material - End of anemity and well being - Unclear role of local inhabitants,central decision - Low trust in politicions, resulting in low trust of law observance Local Community Concerns and Expectations RADIOTIVE WASTE REPOSITORY AUTHORITY Liblice 25-28th March 2008 4

  5. Fear of radioactivity, health impacts Social and economical issues Governance issues ↔Access to information,visits to nuclear facilities, etc. ↔ Economical measures, support projects etc. ↔ Clear roles of all stakeholders Communication Programme Communication and supporting programme should address all types of concerns RADIOTIVE WASTE REPOSITORY AUTHORITY Liblice 25-28th March 2008 5

The solution should be managed by the current generation Trust – highest level trust in the media as a source of information Local inhabitants have more information than the general public The decision should be made by experts and the local population together Benefits for the site are a must and the benefits system should be driven by strict and transparent rules Low active participation, only 6% of local people actively participates in the process To increase support for disposal is extremely time consuming process The attitudes reflect specific features of the facility only to some extend, but reflect trust (in the process,implementor, regulatory authority, state etc.) and changing social environment (changing values).
