ONDRAF/NIRAS is responsible for the safe management of all radioactive waste in Belgium. We can also be tasked with the remediation and dismantling of nuclear facilities that have been decommissioned. We invest in research programmes to optimise our existing operations and work out long-term safe solutions. We make national policy proposals linked to the long-term management of radioactive waste to the government. We engage in dialogue with the public to create societal support for the proposed solutions. Finally, we ensure that there is adequate financial provision according to the 'polluter pays' principle.
