Commentaries: Art. 12

Article 10 paragraph 1 applies by analogy to the design of nuclear installations other than nuclear power plants and deep geological repositories.
An interim storage installation for radioactive waste must be designed to ensure that:
1. the suitability for disposal of the waste packages will not be impaired;
2. sufficient storage capacity is available for the anticipated volume of waste.
ENSI shall specify detailed design principles for individual types of nuclear installations in guidelines.¹
