An older facility at Saakadze contains a substantial amount of radioactive wastes but is considered to be a storage facility. According to an IAEA Integrated Regulatory Review Service mission to Georgia in February 2018, a Centralised Storage Facility has been in operation since 2007 to manage radioactive waste streams from the decommissioning of IRT-M and radioactive sources from activities undertaken in Georgia. It was decommissioned in 2016 with International Atomic Energy Agency support. A research reactor, IRT-M, operated from from 1959 to 1989. Georgia uses radioactive sources in medicine and industry and operates radioactive waste management facilities. Discussions are also in progress on continuation of the project, which is to be decided on by the EU this autumn, SSM said. The end product of the project will be a preliminary design for a future waste storage site and a decision in principle from the government demonstrating its intention to proceed with construction of this site. SSM is now conducting the procurement process for the design of the interim storage facility and processing facility. Project Humboldt State Kicks Off 2014 RecycleMania Collegiate Recycling.

"Apart from project management and facilitating, our experts are assisting as advisers and support for Georgia's radiation safety authority," he said. SSM is coordinating this project in collaboration with Sida, the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency.Ĭhristopher Walden of SSM's Office for International Relations said it is "fairly unique" for a regulator to lead this kind of project. The money will be used to site and develop a preliminary design for a processing facility and an interim storage facility for radioactive waste.


The EU has approved the EUR1 million funding now that Georgia is considered to be in compliance with fundamental requirements, SSM said. SSM assisted the Georgian regulator on the development of a national strategy for management of all its radioactive waste, which was adopted by the country's government in 2016. The country also created an independent government agency and an organisation responsible for dealing with the waste.
