The Environment Agency and Office for Nuclear Regulation’s (the nuclear regulators) joint publication about their scrutiny of RWM’s work relating to geological disposal of radioactive waste.
The nuclear regulators provide regulatory advice to RWM about implementing geological disposal.
This report explains what the regulators looked at and the main comments provided to RWM. It also highlights areas for RWM to improve.
RWM is making progress towards being an organisation capable of holding an environmental permit and nuclear site licence for a geological disposal facility.
The regulators will make sure that any future geological disposal facility meets their high standards for environmental protection, safety, security, radioactive waste transportation and safeguards.
