CoRWM provides independent scrutiny and advice to UK government and devolved administration minsters on the long-term management of radioactive waste, including storage and disposal. The committee’s primary task is to provide independent scrutiny on the UK government’s and Radioactive Waste Management Ltd’s high profile programme to deliver geological disposal, together with interim storage, for higher activity wastes.

The Chair will be appointed for a single term of 4 years, renewable for a further term at the discretion of the Secretary of State.
