Where does the radioactive waste come from? How much volume does a deep geological repository need? The National Cooperative for the Disposal of Radioactive Waste (Nagra) provides the answers to these and other questions in its waste management programme. The programme provides an overview of the status of waste management and the plans up to the closure of the storage facility. Nagra updates the waste management programme every five years and submits it to the SFOE, ENSI and NSC for review. The Federal Council approves the waste management programme with any applicable requirements.
