Schedule of Final Disposal

High-level radioactive waste contains high concentrations of long-lived radionuclides. Disposing of the waste in deep underground engineered facilities ensures its isolation from our living environment in a safe and reliable manner. In promoting the progress of the high-level waste disposal program, NUMO will pursue a policy of active and open disclosure of information, with a view to achieving transparency and obtaining the understanding and acceptance of the stakeholders and the general public. In cooperation with the Japanese people, NUMO will strive to realize its goal of safe disposal of high-level waste.
