The WHO Regional Office for Europe, in collaboration with the Government of Belgium, convened a working group on health implications of high-level radioactive waste disposal in June 1980. This was the third in a series of meetings arranged in Belgium on the health aspects of nuclear power production. The purpose of these meetings was to respond to the need for national health and environmental authorities in European countries to keep themselves and the general public well informed of the consequences for health of new developments in the peaceful uses of nuclear power. The safe disposal of high-level radioactive waste is a topic that has caused great concern to governments and the public alike. This report provides much needed information on this vital aspect of the nuclear power industry and will be of particular interest in those countries that are now developing their nuclear technology and industry.
