Recap of the Joint Event: SITEX.Network’s 8th General Assembly and Topical Day 2025
We are thrilled to share the highlights of the successful joint event hosted by the SITEX.Network, which combined the 8th General Assembly (G.A. n°8) and the Topical Day 2025 on the theme: “Human intrusion scenarios in safety cases for radioactive waste disposal facilities”.
Hosted by AGES at their premises in Vienna, Austria the 8th General Assembly took place on 11 February morning providing an opportunity to discuss ongoing initiatives, future plans, and strategic directions for the network. This 8th GA was then followed by a national update presenting the situation regarding radioactive waste management for various countries: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Sweden, Switzerland and Ukraine.
In the afternoon on 11 February SITEX.network’s Topical Day 2025 started and ended until on 12 February 2025 at 13:00 CET. The event brought together experts and stakeholders to explore human intrusion scenarios in the context of radioactive waste disposal safety cases. The two-day program was packed with insightful discussions and knowledge-sharing:
– Day 1 (11 February): Participants gained a comprehensive overview of international standards and selected national cases, with presentations and panel discussions led by renowned experts in the field.
– Day 2 (12 February): The focus shifted to a guided exchange of views, where participants shared their experiences, challenges, and expectations on the topic. This interactive session fostered meaningful dialogue and collaboration among attendees.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all participants, speakers especially Mr Gerard Bruno from the IAEA who opened this event with an overview, and AGES for making this event a resounding success. Your contributions and active engagement were instrumental in creating a productive and inspiring atmosphere.
For those who attended, we hope the event provided valuable insights and networking opportunities. For those who couldn’t join us, stay tuned for event materials and updates, which will be shared soon.
