8.3. The overall goal of regulatory review is to verify that the disposal facility will not cause an unacceptable adverse impact on human health or safety, or on the environment, both now and in the future. To achieve this goal, the regulatory review process will typically have the following objectives:@@- To determine whether the safety case has been developed to an acceptable level (in terms of its quality and the detail and depth of understanding displayed) and whether it is fit for purpose; @@- To verify that the safety case and the assumptions on which it is based comply with, or are in accordance with, accepted principles for radioactive waste management and regulatory requirements and expectations; @@- To determine whether the safety case provides an adequate and appropriate basis to demonstrate that the proposed facility will be operated safely and provides reasonable assurance of an adequate level of safety in the period after closure;@@- To verify that relevant measures for mitigating unlikely potential effects have been identified and addressed, and that adequate follow-up plans for their implementation have been developed;@@- To determine whether issues required by the regulatory body to be addressed by the operator have been clearly identified;@@- To identify any unresolved issues and to verify that plans for resolving these issues have been developed.
