Even though the nuclear sector is not the only radioactive waste producer, countries most concerned with the safe disposal of high-level waste are currently those which store spent nuclear fuel or waste from reprocessing. Most such countries have formed national organisations responsible for radioactive waste management with which RAWRA is keen to establish close cooperation.
