EURAD - D9.7 Review of radioanalytical characterisation of selected radioactive wastes and wastes with complex chemical and toxic properties

Radioanalytical characterisation is a vital part of the waste management route for radioactive wastes. It
ensures the compliance with waste acceptance criteria for interim storage, long-term storage and final
disposal and therefore contributes to the safe handling of radioactive waste. The objective of this
deliverable is a comprehensive description of radioanalytical characterisation, including
• the identification of characterisation techniques,
• the comparison of characterisation methods applied for the same waste in different countries,
• the analysis of existing approaches and identification of knowledge gaps, as well as
• to give recommendations both for future research and development (R&D) tackling the identified
knowledge gaps and for characterisation approaches for countries with non-developed waste
management concepts.
