"In 1997, the International Atomic Energy Agency launched a Co-ordinated Research Project (CRP) on Improvement of Safety Assessment Methodologies for Near Surface Disposal Facilities (ISAM). ... Results ... [were an] Action Plan on the Safety of Radioactive Waste Management [which would] ensure adequate application of the Agency's waste safety standards, by elaborating on the Safety Requirements on 'Near Surface Disposal of Radioactive Waste (Safety Standards Series No. WS-R-1) and the Safety Guide on 'Safety Assessment for Near Surface Disposal of Radioactive Waste' (Safety Standards Series No. WS-G-1.1). ... The IAEA officers responsible for the ISAM project were C. Torres-Vidal and B. Batandjieva of the Division of Radiation, Transport and Waste Safety"--Foreword.
