The first container has been filled with long-lived low- and intermediate-level waste from the used fuel pools of unit 3 at Belgium's Doel nuclear power plant, which was shut down in September 2022 and is now being decommissioned.

Norway should build a deep geological landfill for high-level waste and a medium-depth geological repository for low- and intermediate-level waste, a group of experts considering solutions for the disposal of the country's historic radioactive waste have recommended.

Work has begun at Italy's Garigliano nuclear power plant to dismantle an old radioactive waste system, used during the plant's operation to manage radioactive liquid effluents. A new system was put into operation in 2022 for the treatment of such waste.

Work has started to demolish and subsequently reconstruct an interim storage facility for low-level radioactive waste at the Caorso nuclear power plant site. The new facility will meet the most recent safety standards required by industry regulations and legislation.

Under the memorandum of understanding, the partnership will explore the management of used fuel from Deep Fission's advanced underground reactors using Deep Isolation's patented underground disposal technology.

The second of three planned shipments from the UK to Germany of high-level waste in the form of vitrified residues has been completed. The waste has now been delivered to an interim storage facility at the Isar nuclear power plant site.

Brazil's National Nuclear Energy Commission has given an extendable 40-year authorisation for the operation of the Complementary Dry Storage Unit for Spent Fuel at the Angra nuclear power plant site.

US-based multinational repository developer DeepGeo and Argentina-based reactor technology start-up Nuclearis have signed a memorandum of understanding to evaluate the integration of DeepGeo's multinational services as a solution for any wastes generated by Nuclearis's microreactor technologies.

The second of three planned shipments of high-level radioactive waste has left the Sellafield site in northwest England and is being transported by rail and sea to its destination at the Isar interim storage facility in Germany.
