[en] The 'Andra Journal' is a magazine published three- or four-times a year by the French National Agency for Radioactive Waste Management (Andra). Each issue is published in 4 versions: a national version + 3 regional versions for each French radioactive waste repository - the Aube plant, the Manche plant and the Meuse/Haute-Marne plant. All versions share in common some national and international news, and a special dossier. Some additional local news are presented in the regional versions. This issue includes a special dossier about the Cigeo underground waste facility project and the final stretch before the licence application procedure (final studies, optimization, safety expertise, preliminary field works, impact study, anticipation of skill needs).
