Government publishes new policy on solid low level radioactive waste | Practical Law
The Government published on 26 March 2007 a new policy for the management of solid low level radioactive waste (LLW). The new policy requires, among other things, producers of LLW to produce waste management plans and stresses the need to avoid and minimise the creation of radioactive waste. It also requires the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) to assess the need for new long term disposal facilities for LLW.
