Funding
Radioactive waste issues are complex primarily in terms of the waste’s potential long-term impact on the environment. It is imperative that sufficient funds be provided for safe waste disposal and related activities. According to the provisions of the Atomic Act, funds have been deposited since 1997 in the so-called Nuclear Account which was established at the Czech National Bank by the Ministry of Finance. All activities relating to radioactive waste are financed from the Nuclear Account which consists of payments by radioactive waste producers, revenues from investment in the financial market, RAWRA’s own revenues, account interest, grants, donations and other revenue. The Nuclear Account is administered by the Ministry of Finance.
