Technical Meeting on the Management of Spent Fuel at Shutdown Reactor Sites, Including those to be Shut Down Prematurely

This Technical Meeting is aimed at discussing the operating experience of managing spent fuel at shutdown reactor sites in order to collect the lessons learned, explore the issues raised at the earlier Consultancy Meeting, enable an exchange of ideas between current operators, and inform Member States that are at the early stages of reactor shutdown planning or have limited contingency for unplanned permanent reactor shutdown.

Information gathered at this meeting will be consolidated into an IAEA Technical Document (TECDOC) on spent fuel management at shutdown sites and the issues related to the premature shutdown of nuclear power reactors.
