What is the JCCRM?

In 1996, the United States Department of Energy (DOE) and the National Atomic Energy Commission (CNEA) signed the "Implementing Arrangement between the Department of Energy of the United States of America and the National Atomic Energy Commission of the Argentine Republic for Technical Exchange and Cooperation in the Area of Radioactive and Mixed Waste Management." The objective of this agreement is to promote international scientific cooperation. The duration of the bilateral agreement is ten years.

This agreement is managed by the Joint Coordinating Committee for Radioactive and Mixed Waste Management (JCCRM), which meets annually to assess program progress, review and approve proposals, evaluate potential future activities, share experiences, and develop innovative technologies jointly in three areas of cooperation. Under the JCCRM, a variety of activities are authorized including technical workshops, technology development, technology deployment, and scientist exchanges.
