➢ Romania has adopted the open fuel cycle
➢ Spent fuel produced by research reactors shall be returned back to origincountries
➢ Decommissioning of nuclear installations and final disposal of spent nuclearfuel and radioactive waste should be implemented as soon as reasonablypossible
➢ The final point of management for all radioactive waste is final disposal
➢ The final disposal of spent nuclear fuel and radioactive waste will only becarried out by state organizations
➢ All waste generators must have the financial resources to implement theNational Program through contributions to the Radioactive WasteManagement Fund and to the Decommissioning Fund.

The Cernavoda NPP stretgy for the safe use of CANDU nuclear fuel resulting from the operation of Units 1 and Unit 2 of Cernavoda NPP is the following:
- wet storage in the burning fuel tank of each reactor for a minimum of 6 years;- dry storage in the dry intermediate fuel storage facility for a 50 year period.
Small quantities of spent nuclear fuel that have been transported from Cernavoda NPP to RATEN ICN for post-irradiation examination will be stored intermediate in storage wells located in hot alpha-gamma cells with heavy concrete walls in the Post Examination Laboratory Irradiance

➢ The Intermediate Dry Spent Fuel Storage for Cernavoda is theMACSTOR system.
➢ The MACSTOR (Modular Air Cooled STORage) System isdesigned for storing fuel, which has been cooled for a period ofsix years.
➢ It consists of storage modules located above ground in thestorage site, and equipment operated at the spent fuel storagebay for preparing the spent fuel for dry storage.
➢ The spent fuel is transferred from the preparation area to thestorage site using a shielded transfer flask and a transporter.
➢ The Intermediate Dry Spent Fuel Storage Facility consist ofconcrete modules (currently MACSTOR 200 units), providedwith cylinders for storage.
➢ CNE Cernavoda has carried out the necessary studies to switchto the MACSTOR 400 module which, compared to theMACSTOR 200 module, has a double storage capacity (24,000fuel bundles)

➢ The agreed management end-state for spent fuel and LILW-LL is geological disposal, and a singlerepository will be constructed for all spent fuel from the 4 CANDU reactor units at the Cernavodasite, and also for all LILW-LL.
➢ Given that the dry store for spent fuels at the Cernavoda site has a design life of 50 years, there isno requirement for a geological repository to be operational early
➢ Current activities are limited, and focused on planning and preparation of a long-term programmefor the implementation of the geological repository.
➢ The repository will then become operational in around 2055 and there will be parallel phases ofconstruction and operation until the repository is closed in around 2150
