Low and Intermediate Level Radioactive Waste Repository in Croatia

In Croatia, radioactive waste is generated in various applications and by the Krško and NPP. The total amount of radwaste generated for nuclear applications has been, up to now, about 80 m^3, with a gross activity of about 2.3 x 10^3 GBq. It is estimated that about 18.000 m^3 of low and intermediate level radioactive waste will be generated during the lifetime of the Krško NPP and as a result of its eventual decommissioning and dismantling. In light of these facts, Croatia has been working on the project of final disposal for low and intermediate level radioactive waste on its territory. The status and efficiency of the radwaste management infrastructure in the country have a significant influence on all activities related to the repository project construction, from preliminary planning and background preparation to the advanced phases of project development. The paper presents the status and structure of the Croatian national radioactive waste management infrastructure and its influence on the development of the repository project. The roles of national legislation and the institutional framework a specially discussed.
