This publication addresses management system requirements, planning, and establishment of management system procedures and methodologies relevant to the development (design/construction), operation and/or upgrading of disposal facilities. This basic information is useful in the planning and implementation of a comprehensive management programme for all activities and processes that take place during the life cycle of a repository, and can contribute to building public confidence and acceptance of disposal facilities. The publication complements the recent IAEA Safety Guide on the management system for the disposal of radioactive waste, expanding it to the design, construction and operational stages.
