FOREWORD The 7th Forum on Stakeholder Confidence (FSC) National Workshop and Community Visit was held on 7-9 April 2009 in Bar-le-Duc, France. It was organised with the assistance of the CLIS (the Local Information and Oversight Committee of the Bure Laboratory) and the financial and logistical support of Andra, France’s National Agency for the Management of Radioactive Waste. Amongst the participants were representatives of local and regional government (including six mayors and numerous local elected officials from five countries), civil society organisations, universities, waste management agencies, institutional authorities and some 20 FSC delegates from 13 countries and the European Commission. The workshop focused on the territorial implementation of France’s high-level and long-lived intermediate-level waste management programme. Sessions addressed the French historical and legislative context, public information, reversibility, environmental monitoring and the issue of memory. The workshop also included a visit to the site of the underground laboratory located at Bure- Saudron, a reception by the Mayor of Bure and a dinner debate with the president of a local industry organisation. The synthesis is provided under the responsibility of the NEA Secretariat. It relies on verbatim notes taken during plenary sessions and accounts by assigned delegates (with thanks to Andra and to the Chairs of the round-table sessions). This synthesis has also been supported by the presentations and manuscripts kindly provided in good time by all the speakers. All these documents, in French or in English, are accessible online through the FSC web page (www.nea.fr/html/rwm/fsc/). The editorial team at the NEA was comprised of Claudio Pescatore, Claire Mays and Kristin Sazama. 3 Acknowledgements The FSC wishes to thank the numerous French stakeholders who contributed significantly to the success of the workshop.

  • Scientific Investigation in Deep Boreholes at the Meuse/Haute Marne Underground Research Laboratory, Northeastern France
    SCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATION IN DEEP BOREHOLES AT THE MEUSE/HAUTE MARNE UNDERGROUND RESEARCH LABORATORY, NORTHEASTERN FRANCE H. REBOURS, J. DELAY, A. VINSOT Andra, Laboratoire de recherche souterrain de Meuse/Haute-Marne, Route Départementale 960, 55290 Bure, France ABSTRACT From 1994 to 1996, the preliminary investigation carried out by Andra, identified a sector favourable for hosting a laboratory in argillaceous Callovo-Oxfordian formation which has a thickness of 130 m and lies more than 400 m below ground level. In November 1999 Andra began building an Underground Research Laboratory (URL) with a 3D seismic survey over 4 km². From 2000 to 2004, large programs of boreholes were carried out on site and on the sector in order to define the characteristics of formations, to improve the regional geological and hydrogeological knowledge and to provide an accurate definition of structural features in Callovo-Oxfordian argillites and Dogger limestones. These drilling programs have provided a fine characterization of the argillites on the laboratory area and a good correlation of geological properties at a sector scale. 1 Choice of Eastern France ANDRA is in charge of analyzing the possibility of implanting a reversible nuclear waste disposal in deep geological formations. With this aim it has undertaken the construction of an underground laboratory in the eastern part of the Paris Basin. This region, with a geological history running over 365 million years and historically known to be stable, had been generally identified (Figure 1). Figure 1. Geological structure of the Paris basin The building of the Meuse/Haute-Marne underground research laboratory is conducted through the implementation of a scientific and technical approach, based on the knowledge acquired during the preliminary borehole drilling phases.

  • First Battle of the Marne After Invading Belgium and North-Eastern France
    First Battle of the Marne After invading Belgium and north-eastern France during the Battle of Frontiers, the German army had reached within 30 miles of Paris. Their progress had been rapid, giving the French little time to regroup. The First Battle of the Marne was fought between September 6th through the 12th in 1914, with the German advance being brought to a halt, and a stalemate and trench warfare being established as the norm. As the German armies neared Paris, the French capital prepared itself for a siege. The defending French and British forces were at the point of exhaustion, having retreated continuously for 10-12 days under repeated German attack until they had reached the south of the River Marne. Nevertheless, the German forces were close to achieving a breakthrough against the French forces, and were only saved on the 7th of September by the aid of 6,000 French reserve infantry troops brought in from Paris by a convoy of taxi cabs, 600 cabs in all. On September 9th, the German armies began a retreat ordered by the German Chief of Staff Helmuth von Moltke. Moltke feared an Allied breakthrough, plagued by poor communication from his lines at the Marne. The retreating armies were pursued by the French and British, although the pace of the Allied advance was slow - a mere 12 miles in one day. The German armies ceased their withdrawal after 40 miles at a point north of the River Aisne, where the First and Second Armies dug in, preparing trenches that were to last for several years.

  • France the Centre De La Manche Disposal Facility
    FRANCE XA0200298 THE CENTRE DE LA MANCHE DISPOSAL FACILITY: ENTERING INTO THE INSTITUTIONAL CONTROL PERIOD 1. Introduction The Centre de la Manche disposal facility, created by decree in 1969, is the first French near-surface radioactive waste disposal facility. It lies at the northwest end of the Cotentin peninsula, next to the COGEMA-La Hague fuel reprocessing plant (Figure A.I). The Centre de la Manche facility occupies an area of about 150 000 m2. Its operation was terminated in late June 1994 with about 500 000 m3 of packages disposed of. Operating feedback from the Centre de la Manche was used to design the second French disposal facility, located in the Aube, which has been receiving LILW since 1992. Since the end of the operating period, ANDRA has been preparing the statutory files to prepare the Centre de la Manche for its entry into the institutional control period. A new government decree will set the framework in which the Centre will evolve in this period. The regulatory process includes the filing of an application with the ministries concerned, containing a file with the requisite statutory documents, including an impact study of the facility on its environment as well as a hazard study. The file will then be submitted to a public inquiry, an essential informative period of the project designed to make a compilation of criticisms and suggestions from the public. In support of the application, a safety report has been sent to the Nuclear Installation Safety Directorate (DSIN) for a decision on the admissibility of the application. Recently, the Group of experts appointed by the DSIN which examined it has come out in favor of the creation of a new basic nuclear installation (i.e., a new government agency) for the institutional control period.

Despite this he was well-respected by his pilots for both his flying and leading abilities, and had served in Palestine and Iraq prior to taking over. He shaped the men for combat – reading every situation and knowing when and how to attack, but also when to back out of a fight – helping them to hone their skills. This couldn’t have been more in contrast to No. 1 Sqn’s sister in 67 Wing, No. 73 Sqn, led by ‘Cobber’ Kain, who the No. 1 Sqn boys thought of as a “split-arse pilot”.
