The Convention met in September 1997 to set international standards for handling spent fuel and radioactive waste that either results from civilian nuclear reactors and applications, that is transferred from military and defense programs permanently to civilian programs to be managed exclusively by them, or that is otherwise declared to be spent fuel or radioactive waste for the purpose of the Convention. Official records and other relevant documents relating to the negotiations at the Convention are presented here. The Convention came into effect in June 2001. There is no index.
