For the vast majority the impact of radioactive waste is very small if not insignificant. Even for people who live near major nuclear sites, the risk is small compared to the other risks of modern living. In planning for long term storage solutions, the Government has set stringent risk targets for the public, which will be used in the selection and development of the site(s).
