Sažetak
Site selection and site characterisation for long-term storage facility or repository for low and intermediate level radioactive waste (LILW) is often more complex than a technical solution for the construction itself. Complexity is recognized in solving sociopolitical problems more often than in engineering criteria. A long-term storage facility for LILW can be presented as a high-safety and a high-security facility, with minimal geological and hydrogeological concerns, and mostly located at sites with low population density. Repository, however, is a facility for which serious geological, hydrogeological and other such criteria is applied. The general opinion among stakeholders is that earthquakes, floods, fire or terrorism can affect or even destroy waste packages and the facility itself, and thus endanger the environment and the local population. Concerns related to repositories are similar, with an even worse stigma of “potentially dangerous facilities”. In this paper, basic site selection and site characterisation procedures for a long-term storage facility and repository for LILW will be presented, along with the complexity of the Croatian situation and solutions. The aim of the paper is to find a way of presenting good practice and existing proper solutions to Croatian stakeholders, primarily the local community and the general public, as well as to invite professionals and experts from this field of engineering to contribute and share truly useful information with the public.
