A panel of the National Academy of Science Committee on Radioactive Waste Management (CRWM) has been reviewing the status of waste management in various foreign countries. The objective has been to look mainly for differences between U.S. and foreign practices to identify policies or procedures that might improve technical practices or achieve equal results at lower cost. This paper is an informal summary of the findings that are expected to be reported by the CRWM in the next few months.
