  1. Radioactive Waste and Spent Fuel Management in Hungary BálintNős director of strategy and technology 4th CEE Nuclear Energy Summit PURAM

  2. CouncilDirective 2011/70/EURATOM Member States shall ensure the establishment,maintenance and implementation of a National Program covering all aspects of spent fueland radioactive waste management from generation to disposal.

  3. Act on Atomic Energy • Drafting the National Policy and National Program, • Final disposal of RW, • Interim storage of SNF and the back-end of the fuel cycle, • Decommissioning of nuclear facilities. The government shall appoint an organization to cover the followingtasks: PURAM was appointed To cover the above mentioned tasks the Central Nuclear Financial Fund was established.

  4. Development of a National Program Generation of spent fuel and radioactive waste categorization, waste streams 1 2 n collection, treatment, conditioning storage transport final disposal in dedicated repositories

  5. Main Waste Producers • Paks NPP • Institutional waste producers: • Training reactor • Research reactor • Medicine, industry, agriculture

  6. Logical Scheme of the Program Russia Interim storage of SNF Interim storage of long-lived waste Final disposal of institutional L/ILW Final disposal of SNF Final disposal of operational and decommissioning HLW Final disposal of operational and decommissioning L/ILW Final disposal of SNF Final disposal of long-lived waste

  7. Institutional L/ILW disposal

  8. InstitutionalRadioactiveWaste • Disposal at Püspökszilágy Radioactive Waste Treatment and Disposal Facility (RWTDF), which was commissioned in 1976. • Near surface facility with engineered barriers Disposal capacity: 5040 m3 Storage capacity: ~1000 drums

  9. NPP Origin L/ILW disposal

  10. Disposal of the NPP origin L/ILW • Hostformationgranitictypefractured rock • The depth is ~200-250 m • Designedforthedisposal of theoperational and decommissioning L/ILW of thecurrent 4 units, butextension is possible

  11. Interim Storage of SNF

  12. Interim Storage of Spent Nuclear Fuel • Modular, vault type, dry storage facility • The fuel assemblies arestoredin tubes, filled with inert N2atmosphere • The cooling is provided by passive air flowing

  13. Site Selection of a DGR

  14. Site Selection for the DGR • A staged site investigation program has been developed • Currently a surface based geological research program is ongoing

  15. Time Schedule of theActivities

  16. Long-term Planning • PURAM prepares each year the mid- and long-term plan of the activities financed from the CNFF. • The basis of these plans is the National Program. FEE TO BE PAYED MID and LONG TERM PLAN National Program

  17. Long-term Cost Profile Payments!

  18. Thank you for your attention!
