Background

The primary role of nuclear safety research is to provide technical basis for regulators' decision making in their regulatory activities. Nuclear safety research is conducted at not only governmental research organizations and universities, but also private and industry's institutions. Therefore, communication between the regulators and the nuclear safety researchers is indispensable for achieving maximum outcomes from nuclear safety research in an efficient and timely manner, and thereby for further enhancing safety of nuclear facilities. The Nuclear Safety Research Forum (NSRF) provides an opportunity for such communication and it is expected that, through discussions and information exchange among participants on topical issues of nuclear safety, future scope and needs of nuclear safety are identified for further enhancement of nuclear safety. The NSRF2010 is the fourth Forum of the series, jointly organized by such relevant regulatory bodies as the NSC, the NISA and the MEXT, and provides an opportunity for all relevant regulators, nuclear safety researchers and persons concerned with implementation to communicate through discussions and information exchange with each other. It provides a good opportunity to all participants for mutual learning to enhance nuclear safety of radioactive waste disposal.

Objectives

Objectives of the NSRF2010 are, through discussions and information exchange, to share relevant information globally among industrial and academic communities concerned and governmental authorities, focusing on new approach to keep long range safety of radioactive waste disposal. The Forum also clarifies the issues of importance in future safety research concerned with international radioactive waste disposal regulation. The Forum intends to conclude the recommendations on the future needs to form social consensus on new safety assessment for radioactive waste disposal.
