Contracting Parties to the Joint Convention on the Safety of Spent Fuel Management and on the Safety of Radioactive Waste Management are attending the Seventh Review Meeting of the Convention from 27 June to 8 July 2022 at the IAEA’s headquarters in Vienna to share their experiences and lessons learned.

Over the course of two weeks Contracting Parties present and discuss their national reports through a constructive exchange of views so that they can learn from each other about solutions in the field of safe management of spent fuel and radioactive waste.

The Hungarian national report was discussed on the first day of the Review Meeting. On the basis of the national report, the Hungarian national presentation and the answers to the questions, the Review Meeting concluded that the Hungarian practice meets the requirements of the Convention. The continued efforts of the Hungarian institutions on public outreach and the development of safety improvement plans for the Radioactive Waste Processing and Storage Facility in Püspökszilágy were particularly recognized.
