ANDRA

10 October 2012

The National Agency for Radioactive Waste (ANDRA) is responsible for managing all radioactive waste produced on French territory. The storage of radioactive waste is designed to be intrinsically safe for a period depending on the life of waste.ANDRA wants to keep as long as possible the memory of these storage centres. France, via ANDRA, is among the most advanced country for consideration on long term memory. It focuses on media, also languages and symbols, and especially on the willingness and ability of future generations to transmit memory. In the frame of his consideration, ANDRA has realized long-term memory demonstrators with ARNANO technology.
