The UMAN workpackage is dedicated to the management of uncertainties possibly relevant at different stages of radioactive waste management and programs. It aims at exchange of views, practices and uncertainty management options as well as the review of existing strategies, approaches and tools. Moreover, UMAN tries to foster the interaction of various types of actors and also the civil society. The workpackage tries to identify remaing and emerging issues associated with uncertainty management, that could be addressed then in subsequent waves of EURAD, by reviewing past and present EU, IAEA and NEA projects. KIT-INE is involved in various subtasks dealing with uncertaintiy management of spent nuclear fuel. Furthermore, KIT-INE leads the core group on compiled and reviewed information about possible management options for uncertainties related to spent nuclear fuel.
