Study guide PDFRules of procedure PDF

About the committee

This committee works through the Joint Convention on spent fuel and radioactive waste. It must keep national responsibility intact while improving oversight wherever contamination, transport or jurisdiction crosses a border.

The room ends with a draft resolution on safety standards, review and international cooperation.

What it has to settle

  1. How should notification, consent and return arrangements work across borders?
  2. Who keeps safety oversight running in disputed or politically unstable territory?
  3. What monitoring and disclosure should precede an ocean release of treated waste?
