It is based on the premise that, in general,arrangements have to be in place to ensure that these related requirements are met. This Safety Requirements publication does set out some requirements that are closely related to these other thematic areas and which are of particular importance to the safety of radioactive waste disposal facilities. Guidance on the fulfilment of the safety requirements set out in this Safety Requirements publication is provided in several Safety Guides specific to different types of radioactive waste disposal facility.
