The delegation, led by KORAD and including representatives of the mayor of Taebaek City, explored Belgian initiatives in radioactive waste management. Taebaek City has been selected as the site for the future deep geological repository of long-lived radioactive waste in South Korea.
During the visit, participants gained insight into projects such as Belgoprocess, Euridice, Tabloo, and the local partnerships MONA and STORA. The focus was on the Belgian approach, which combines technological expertise with transparent communication and community involvement.
The visit provided Belgoprocess with an opportunity to exchange experiences with international partners facing similar challenges. Such meetings strengthen international cooperation and contribute to safe and sustainable solutions for radioactive waste management.
International knowledge sharing is considered crucial in the nuclear sector for organizations worldwide to learn from each other's approaches and work towards safe waste management for present and future generations.
