Cebakovskaya N.S., et al. 

This paper is the first in a series summarizing current international experience in the establishment and operation of underground research laboratories and deep geological repositories for spent nuclear fuel and long-lived radioactive waste.
This paper examines recent developments in the field of RW and SNF deep geological disposal (2014–2017) in eight European countries: Belgium, the United Kingdom, Hungary, Germany, Finland, France, Sweden, Switzerland. It provides up-to-date information on the planned schedule of disposal operations, relevant costs and management aspects.
The final part of the paper introduces a short list of key definitions widely used in the field of geological disposal that was compiled based on relevant IAEA and NEA/OECD documents.
