Abstract
Involving members of the public is of utmost importance in technological
developments and implications. The Belgian decision-making process on the disposal of type A waste, the low and intermediate low level waste, can be used as a good example hereof. The process can be divided in three periods. After a period of sea dumping, the Belgian Agency for Radioactive Waste and Enriched Fissile Materials ONDRAF/NIRAS (O/N) carried out a surface disposal program without public involvement. In 1990, O/N concluded that the surface disposal option was most favorable in what regards the technical feasibility, the safety and the cost.
