Abstract

Part III in this series of review papers on radioactive waste management and spent fuel disposal first presented the ten influencers impacting the character and progression of radioactive waste and spent fuel disposal programs. These ten influencers, and their supporting pillars, build an integrated Radioactive Waste & Spent Fuel Policy/Strategy Sustainability model (RWSFPS). Within Part IV, the RWSFPS is more broadly presented, detailing the encompassing reach of these influencers abilities to impact the system of radioactive waste management and spent fuel disposal. Part IV also provides an overview of radioactive waste management and spent fuel programs in Spain, Switzerland, Taiwan, Ukraine, and United Arab Emirates.
