Defra Consultation on Geological Storage of Radioactive Waste
Defra have launched the following consultation: Managing radioactive waste safely: a framework for implementing geological disposal.
The Government’s response to the independent Committee on Radioactive Waste Management (CoRWM) on 25 October 2006 committed to consult on how implementation of geological storage of higher activity radioactive waste can be taken forward. The Government seeks views on the technical aspects of developing a storage facility and how to engage most effectively with those communities that might have a potential interest in hosting the facility.
The deadline for responses is Friday, 2 November 2007.
