As of 2021, the volume of radioactive waste to be stored in Belgium was expected to include almost 150 thousand cubic meters of low-level waste requiring short-term management. They make up around 93 percent of the total planned radioactive waste storage of the country. Radioactive waste with short-term management looses most of its radioactivity after 300 years of isolation. Meanwhile, high-level and long-term waste must be isolated for thousands of years. As of 2021, storage needs for such waste in Belgium were forecast to amount to around 12 thousand cubic meters.
