11 Geological Disposal Expected impact Contribution to the strengthening of ERA Progress towards the development of geological disposal in line with the priorities of the Strategic Research Agenda (SRA) / Deployment Plan of IGD-TP and SET-Plan objectives EU 2011 directive on the responsible and safe management of spent fuel and radioactive waste as well as enhancement of basic knowledge. In particular, this should lead to increased confidence at international level in the safety case, while foster the joint strategic planning and implementation necessary to bring about such advances.

12 Geological Disposal NFRP 6: Addressing key priority R&I issues for the first-ofthe-kind geological repositories. Topics of high priority and European added value that were raised in safety reviews and identified in the SRA of IGD-TP Funding scheme: Research and Innovation Actions, RIAs NFRP 7: Research and innovation on the overall management of radioactive waste other than geological disposal. Management and disposal of other, especially non-standard, radioactive waste types and forms present specific challenges Funding scheme: Research and Innovation Actions, RIAs
