Under the auspices of the IAEA, nationally developed Underground Research Facilities (URFs) and associated laboratories are being offered for use by other nations. The URFs and laboratories form a “Network of Centres of Excellence” for training in and development of waste disposal technologies. If your organisation is from a participating country in the IAEA training network scheme you may be able to request financial support from the IAEA for courses run as part of the Network scheme.

This eight-day course is presented by ITC in collaboration with and hosted by DBE TECHNOLOGY, and with the participation of the Clausthal University of Technology, Germany. It is a component of the IAEA Network programme for 2009. The course is designed for project managers and scientists, regulatory agencies and geoscientific organisations concerned with the development of geological repositories for long-lived wastes in sedimentary formations. The programme is developed and considerably extended from a course with a similar topic, held in 2007. This time, there is more emphasis on safety assessment methodology in sedimentary environments, as well as sections on the technical fundamentals of geological disposal and societal aspects of repository siting and development. Visits will be made to two underground facilities; Konrad and Gorleben.
