Transparency and Public Participation for Radioactive Waste Management in Europe investigates how the pillars of the Aarhus Convention and a broader understanding of transparency by Civil Society (CS) can be transposed into Radioactive Waste Management (RWM), particularly in the establishment of Radioactive Waste (RW) facilities in different national contexts.

With an analysis of 9 national cases from Europe, the book provides the results of the investigations, including comments, suggestions, questions, and other observations, collected in interaction with other EURAD participants from the civil society. It discusses the feedback provided within a questionnaire completed by ROUTES members for the development of national programs on RWM submitted to the Waste Directive, based on effective access to information, public participation, justice, resources, and transparency.

The book will interest nuclear energy policymakers, government employees, and radioactive waste management facility operators. It will also aid researchers and academics investigating public perception and facility siting considerations.
