stručni rad
Recent developments in radioactive waste management (RWM) planning in Croatia appear to be both conceptually wrong and too slow to meet the deadlines for successful implementation. The Strategy adopted in 2014 states that Croatia will establish a RWM Center for storage and disposal of the Croatian share of the NPP Krško waste and of the Croatian institutional RW.
Proposal of the national RWM Program published at the beginning of 2016 aims to establish separate storage facilities for the NPP waste and for the Croatian RW, both at the location Čerkezovac. The repository location would be determined later, somewhere on Trgovska gora in the same Dvor municipality. However, two years later the Program is still not approved by the Government (although public debates ended in the first half of 2016), and the local community is strongly opposed to RW. In the four years after the strategic decision that Croatia itself will manage its share of the NPP waste, no tangible progress towards establishment of RWM Center has been made. Now there remain only five years in which the Centre should be established and licensed, so that it can start accepting RW from the NPP at the beginning of 2023, as required by the Slovenian-Croatian agreement on the NPP Krško. Can this be accomplished? That seems very unlikely, after the slow RWM planning process so far, but also due to the inappropriate RWM conceptual approach.
What Croatia really needs at this time is only a long-term RW storage facility to be used for a number of decades, possibly for more than a century, for the Croatian institutional waste as well as for the NPP waste.
This storage should be newly built for that specific purpose. No adaptation of half a century old objects at Čerkezovac can meet the above requirement. It should be located as close to the city of Zagreb and the NPP Krško as possible, and close to appropriate transport routes. The consenting local community should be sought through a public invitation procedure, facilitated by the contract that the RW and the storage facility will eventually be removed, and motivated by reasonable financial compensation for the period of temporary RW acceptance. Only after conducting a fair search for consenting communities, and if it fails, the Government would have the right to unilaterally determine an appropriate location for the RW storage facility.
