Although solid radioactive waste management is mainly a national concern, there are some aspects that have international implications. One important example is the decommissioning of nuclear facilities, which results in the release of materials that could be reused and recycled. It is possible that these materials could enter international trade, especially if the material is a metal. It is clearly desirable, therefore, to have appropriate international standards to help regulate trade. This paper describes recent international developments relating to the establishment of radiological criteria for the release of materials from regulatory control (clearance). There have already been some experiences of clearance and the transfer of recycled materials within Europe, and this paper reviews that experience. It also discusses recent developments in relation to the international classification of radioactive waste.
尽管固体放射性废物管理主要是各国关注的问题，但有些方面具有国际影响。一个重要例子是核设施退役，这会导致可能被再利用和回收的材料的释放。这些材料有可能进入国际贸易，尤其是如果该材料是金属的话。因此，制定适当的国际标准以帮助规范贸易显然是可取的。本文描述了与确立从监管控制（豁免）中释放材料的放射学标准相关的近期国际发展情况。欧洲内部已经有一些关于豁免和回收材料转移的经验，本文对此经验进行了回顾。它还讨论了放射性废物国际分类方面的近期发展。
