Question 19163 — waste

Summary

Ms. Émilie Cariou questions the Minister of State, Minister of Ecological and Inclusive Transition, on the implementation of Law No. 2006-739 of June 28, 2006 on the program relating to the sustainable management of radioactive materials and waste. In its article 3, this law provides that for the management of long-lived radioactive waste of high or medium activity, research and related studies are continued according to the three axes following complements: first, the separation and transmutation of long-lived radioactive elements; secondly, reversible storage in deep geological layers; third, warehousing. Coupled with the reading of article 6 of the 2006 law (L. 542-1-2 of the environmental code), it appears that deep geological storage is only considered by default, if all of these avenues have been fully appraised and assessed and if safe storage cannot be achieved on the surface. At a time when a national public debate is opening on the management of radioactive materials and waste and considering in particular the incommensurable financial impact of deep geological storage, she therefore wishes to question the state of progress of research and projections on all of these three management avenues mentioned, in France but also in partner countries European and international. In particular, it wishes to be informed precisely on the respective financing mobilized for each management approach and on their prospects for achievement in the short and medium term.
