About IGD-TP
The Implementing Geological Disposal of radioactive waste Technology Platform is a technology platform dedicated to initiate and carry out European strategic initiatives to facilitate the stepwise implementation of safe, deep geological disposal of spent fuel, high-level waste, and other long-lived radioactive waste. It will address the remaining scientific, technological and social challenges, and support the waste management programmes in the Member States. The IGD-TP was launched on the 12th of November, 2009. Its initiators are the European Commission and organisations who contributed to and endorsed the Vision Report of the platform. The platform welcomes all European stakeholders (industry, research and academia, research centres, technical safety organisations, non-governmental organisations, associations, SMEs, …) endorsing the IGD-TP Vision and willing to contribute positively and constructively to the platform’s goals, such as establishing and implementing the Strategic Research Agenda and the accompanying Deployment Strategy steered by the common vision.
