Abstract

The study delves into the complex area of nuclear waste disposal in the Philippine setting. It described the probable situations that were under consideration, exploring the fundamental motivating factors leading to these situations. These included the crucial aspects of categorizing radioactive waste, the range of management choices accessible, and the various disposal strategies developed for various waste tiers. Each alternative was considered in light of a variety of factors, including technological, environmental and practical. The also explored the landscape of implementation with emphasis on the inventory of radioactive waste and a roadmap outlining the course of action. In essence, the study integrated the complex web of scientific and socio-political components and came to a conclusion by utilizing stakeholder analysis and the Prince Method. The study concludes that the creation of a geological disposal site under the administration of the Philippine Government was determined to be the best course of action. This solution was deemed to be the most sensible course of action, earning a Prince Score of 76.2%. It is hoped that this study would not only add to the scholarly conversations but also give policymakers a well-rounded viewpoint.
