This session includes international presentations on work done to advance strategies, technical safety and governance within various programs. Examples will be given from the European Commission's EURAD-2 joint programme specific to technical studies on bentonite barriers and safety cases utilizing thermodynamic model calculations. NEA will share about work done to assess advanced reactors' impact to the back end, and presentations are given from the Swiss and South Korean programmes on optimization and governance models. Means of further collaboration are discussed.
