tions. This is a real dilemma: reliable and predictable cost calculations are required while at the<br />

same time cost estimates are subject to changes due to modified technical plans.<br />

Radioactive waste management is not a stand-alone industry. The technology to be used there is dependent<br />

on other industrial structures and their developments. It is impossible to foresee what will<br />

happen globally during the operation of a repository over the next 100 years or so. Issues like availability<br />

of raw materials, their prices and the existence of subcontractors can only be mentioned but<br />

no justified long-term predictions can be made. In addition, high level waste management schemes<br />

may encounter fundamental changes due to changes in the operational environment. This is suggested<br />

by recent international developments in the back-end of nuclear fuel cycle.<br />
