1.17. Section 2 provides an overview of monitoring and surveillance for radioactive waste disposal facilities, and describes the overall objectives for a monitoring and surveillance programme. Section 3 addresses the roles and responsibilities of the regulatory body and the operator with regard to monitoring and surveillance. Section 4 addresses the design of a monitoring programme and includes some consideration of strategic issues for monitoring. Section 5 provides guidance on monitoring for different types of disposal facility (geological disposal facilities, near surface disposal facilities and facilities for waste from mining and mineral processing). Section 6 addresses the monitoring that is necessary at different stages in the development of a disposal facility. Section 7 provides specific guidance for surveillance activities. Finally, Section 8 is concerned with the use of information from monitoring and surveillance with regard to aspects of compliance with regulations and the development and improvement of the safety case, and Section 9 describes briefly issues relating to the management system for a disposal facility. Annex I provides an example of monitoring and surveillance information collected for a geological disposal programme. Annex II describes a monitoring and surveillance programme for a near surface disposal facility, specifically the radioactive waste treatment and disposal facility at P?sp?kszil?gy operated by the Hungarian national radioactive waste management company (PURAM).
