Summary/Abstract: Small modular reactors are key to switching to cleaner energy and integrating them into energy communities. To achieve energy security with high-tech systems in the future, countries that use nuclear energy could create additional opportunities in order to balance and ensure independence in the energy sector. The policy and principles for the safe management of radioactive waste management activities are interlinked with the safety, security, risk and internal control management process. Nuclear waste management is a critical aspect of the nuclear power industry and requires a high degree of security and safety. This includes the safe handling, storage and disposal of radioactive materials that remain after nuclear reactions, such as spent nuclear fuel and other by-products of radioactive waste. This process is of strategic national importance for a specific country where nuclear waste is generated and requires an established regulatory framework, regulatory control and well-trained personnel.
