The State of Idaho and the US Department of Energy have signed a targeted waiver of the 1995 Settlement Agreement, allowing Idaho National Laboratory to bring in a high-burnup nuclear fuel cask and limited amounts of used fuel from US university research reactors.

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.

The defueling of the second of two reactors at Hunterston B means the plant has become the first of the UK's seven advanced gas-cooled reactor power plants to be declared free of all used nuclear fuel ahead of decommissioning.

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.

Russia's state nuclear corporation Rosatom says it has created a technology for processing liquid radioactive sodium coolant which will allow decommissioning of fast neutron reactors.
