Near surface disposal is an option used by many countries for the disposal of radioactive waste containing mainly short lived radionuclides. Principally, disposal of radioactive waste requires the implementation of measures that will provide safety for human health and environment now and in the future. For this reason, preliminary activity limits should be determined to avoid radioecological problems. Radioactive waste has to be safely disposed in a regulated manner, consistent with internationally agreed principles and standards and with national legislations to avoid serious radioecological problems. The purpose of this study, presents a safety assessment approach to derive operational and post-closure radioecological activity limits for the disposal of radioactive waste. Radioecological activity concentration limits of each radionuclide in the waste (Bq/kg) were calculated. As a result of this study, radioecological activity limits are derived by calculating the highest dose for each selected radionuclide.
