;
To optimize the disposal of low-level waste (LLW), whether for the Centre-Manche or for future disposal facilities, while meeting the concerns of the regulatory authorities, the waste generators, and the public alike, an integrated waste management system was developed by ANDRA, the French nuclear waste management agency. This system covers each step of the production-to-disposal process, and is both a management tool to optimize waste processing, transportation, and disposal costs, and a technical program to define acceptable waste forms, select appropriate sites, design and construct disposal facilities, and operate those facilities in accordance with high safety standards.
