Request summary
The Requesters, around 30 civil society representatives from Craiova, Romania and Bulgaria represented by Mr. Lucian Sauleanu, President of ARC NGO Craiova, who in May 2018 was replaced by Ms Luminita Simoiu from the Civic Association for Life presented a request for a problem solving initiative related to the Kozloduy International Decommissioning Support Fund project. They allege that the location of the near surface repository for radioactive waste, Radiana, is too close to the Danube River and thus poses an environmental risk to the neighbouring Romanian area as well as to the river. Additionally, they raise concerns about the radioactive waste storage capacity of the repository. The Requesters allege that the Romanian population were not properly informed and consulted.
