The relevant national authorities are now studying the Joint Convention on the Safety of Spent Fuel Management and on the Safety of Radioactive Waste Management.

It therefore particularly welcomed the endorsement by the 2000 Review Conference of IAEA regulations for the safe transport of radioactive materials and was particularly encouraged by the Agency's adoption of a Code of Practice on the International Transboundary Movement of Radioactive Waste.

The liquid radioactive waste facility is expected to be completed in 2006 and the interim spent fuel storage facility by 2009, subject to overcoming current difficulties.

We have also consulted with particular attention the States of the African Group, which is sponsoring the draft resolution on radioactive waste, and the delegation of India.

At the same time, unfortunately, in our territory, our many stockpiles of radioactive waste are an inheritance from the military industrial complex of the former Soviet period.

Chile has always been particularly interested in the attainment of an international standards regime for the multilateral regulation of maritime transport of spent nuclear fuel and radioactive waste.

Noting with satisfaction that the Joint Convention on the Safety of Spent Fuel Management and on the Safety of Radioactive Waste Management entered into force on 18 June 2001,

EBRD also manages the Nuclear Safety Account, which finances the construction of an interim spent fuel storage facility and a facility to treat liquid radioactive waste at the Chernobyl site.

Work is being done to construct and operationalize infrastructure units to be used for building, with the assistance of the European Union, an industrial complex for solid radioactive waste management.

We express our deep concern over the potential hazards underlying any use of radioactive wastes that would constitute radiological warfare and its implications for regional and international security, and express the hope that the effective implementation of the IAEA Code of Practice on the International Transboundary Movement of Radioactive Waste will enhance the protection of all States from the dumping of radioactive wastes in their territories.

Projections of the future contributions of nuclear energy are highly uncertain, due to the concerns that exist about safety, radioactive waste management, potential proliferation of nuclear weapons and vulnerability to terrorists.

Benin participates regularly in seminars held by IAEA on strengthening of the safeguards system, nuclear security, non proliferation of nuclear weapons, physical protection of nuclear materials, management of radioactive waste, etc.

In addition, Chile has always been particularly interested in the attainment of an international standards regime for the multilateral regulation of the maritime transport of spent nuclear fuel and radioactive waste.

Reiterating its concern at the degradation of the marine environment as a result of pollution from ships, in particular through the illegal release of oil and other harmful substances, and as a result of pollution by dumping of hazardous waste, including radioactive materials, nuclear waste and dangerous chemicals,

Reiterating its concern at the adverse impacts on the marine environment from ships, including pollution, in particular through the illegal release of oil and other harmful substances and the dumping of hazardous waste, including radioactive materials, nuclear waste and dangerous chemicals, as well as physical impacts on coral,

Within this overall context of nuclear security, it is studying the Joint Convention on the Safety of Spent Fuel Management and on the Safety of Radioactive Waste Management in the relevant national forums.

Radioactive yellow.

Reiterating its concern also at the adverse impacts on the marine environment from ships, including pollution, in particular through the illegal release of oil and other harmful substances and by the dumping of hazardous waste, including radioactive materials, nuclear waste and dangerous chemicals, as well as the physical impacts on coral,

Where the environment is concerned article 113 of Act No. 1333 provides for prison terms of up to 10 years for anyone who permits, cooperates or assists in the storage, introduction or transport anywhere in the national territory of toxic, dangerous or radioactive waste or other waste of external origin.

Nuclear energy presents a number of disadvantages, owing to concerns about safety and disposal of radioactive waste. Hydroelectric power is already widely used, while wind and solar energy are structurally sporadic and disparately available.

Urges all member States to continue consultation and coordination among them at all international meetings including consultations relating to environment protection, especially in the field of biological diversity, climate change, desertification, hazardous and radioactive waste.

Fear of radioactive contamination has stoked strong opposition from residents in areas that would need to accept rubble even when the rubble is from areas nowhere near Fukushima. In addition, although incineration greatly decreases the volume of waste, the concentration of radioactive cesium has been increasing over the past year, making it difficult to find suitable final disposal sites.

The European Union stresses the importance of the Convention on Nuclear Safety and the Joint Convention on the Safety of Spent Fuel Management and on the Safety of Radioactive Waste Management, and also their peer review mechanisms.
