Introduction: the control function of the European Commission in the field of radioactive waste and spent nuclear fuel management is very important both now and in the future, so the European Commission is responsible, together with Euratom, to future generations for the matters of nuclear burials within the territory of the EU. The purpose of the study was to monitor the European Commission’s handling of radioactive waste and spent nuclear fuel. Methods: the methodological framework for the research is a set of methods of scientific knowledge based on dialectical and historical materialism, the methods of logical and structural-functional analysis. Results: the author’s well-founded position is based on EU law and the opinions of the competent scientific community in Russia and abroad on the role of the European Commission in the implementation of the function of control and supervision in the nuclear field, in particular, for the management of radioactive waste and spent nuclear fuel. The reports that the European Commission makes to the European Parliament and the Council of the EU reveal all the situation in the sphere of RW and SNF management in the EU member states, which makes it possible to keep the situation under control. Conclusions: the study revealed the important role of the European Commission in the system of control of radioactive waste and spent nuclear fuel together with Euratom to adjust the actions of the EU member states in the sphere of radioactive waste and spent nuclear fuel.
