What are the governments policies for the management of the radioactive waste that is stored?
The Government’s policy on management of high and intermediate level waste is under review. In 2001, it began a wide-ranging public consultation to inform the development of its policy in this highly controversial area. The government set up the committee of radioactive waste management (CoRWM) http://www.corwm.org.uk/ to review, evaluate and consult on the various options for managing high and intermediate level radioactive waste. CoRWM have been tasked to produce recommendations in 2006. The government is currently consulting on the policy for the long-term management of solid low level radioactive waste see http://www.defra.gov.uk/corporate/consult/radioactivity-llw/index.
