Nuclear Waste Solutions

Management and safe disposal of nuclear fuel wastes is met in every country using nuclear power to generate electricity. Pöyry has served our clients in the development of safe, long-term solutions for nuclear waste treatment from potential site screening studies to scenarios of repository site evolution to the far future.

We have participated in many major programmes worldwide regarding waste inventory, low and intermediate level waste and high level waste disposal. In addition to the geoscientific sector, a growing amount of business activities have taken place among consulting, safety case, evolution studies, monitoring techniques, environmental assessment and public involvement topics.

We apply and follow latest technological development with deep enthusiasm in nuclear waste disposal field. Also other environmental challenges under consideration - like CO2 sequestration or subsurface contaminant migration in general - can take benefit of the technical progress made in research for nuclear waste disposal.
