Three of the most important technical missions for the coming years: construction of a new disposal facility for the low- and intermediate-level wastes (L/ILW), extension of the existing Interim Spent Fuel Storage (ISFS), and the selection of a site for the long-lived high level waste (HLW) repository.

It is equally important, or may be the most important, to establish and maintain good relationship with the society. We feel committed to make sure that ensuring the transparency and the establishing and maintaining correct dialogue and relations is an important part our work to be undertaken in the framework of radioactive waste management. In the social dialog and in the communication to the public, we enter into engagement with the policy of openness and with involvement of all of the stakeholders. Our fundamental aim is to put the stakeholders into a position that makes them capable of deciding.

The mission of our Agency, as specified in the law, is to design, plan and implement the management of radioactive wastes in a way to ensure that:

• it is carried out safely during the entire period of the work;
• it has no higher detrimental effect to the human health outside the borders than acceptable within Hungary.

The operation of our Agency means that the storage and final disposal of radioactive wastes, generated during the use of nuclear technology, and the dismantling of nuclear installations “have a legally responsible owner”.

In line with the corporate forms used in the European Union, Public Agency for Radioactive Waste Management has transformed, as of 7 January 2008, into Public Limited Company for Radioactive Waste Management.

This web site is recommended, with goodwill, to all those who, in their work, may get into relations with any area of the radioactive waste management or simply feel interest in the professional challenges of our age, particularly in such a keenly disputed field as the use of nuclear technology.

The staff members of our Agency are readily at the disposal to those who wish to know more about any part of our work.
