Abstract
The document begins with a summary and overall assessment of the workshop, which highlights the principal substantive conclusions that may be drawn from the working group reports. Under each major topical heading appears a section of the issues and objectives, and a text of the presentations given by the speakers. Also contained are a summary and conclusions of each working group; the audience response; and written statements submitted by other than individual speakers. Three main topics discussed were: (1) Policy and technical considerations for high-level radioactive waste; (2) Policy and technical considerations for intermediate-level and low-level radioactive waste; (3) Public acceptability of the risk associated with radioactive waste.
