The management of nuclear installations as envisaged by Article 8 of the Euratom Treaty renders the Commission responsible throughout the life of a facility until it is de-licensed. Therefore, in keeping with applicable national and European legislation, the JRC is required to decommission its shutdown nuclear installations and manage the associated radioactive waste arisings. These post-operational activities linked to facilities already shutdown or in the process of being put out of operation are the Commission’s so-called Historical Liabilities, most of which are related to the JRC Ispra Site.
