Why are the Environment Agency, HSE and DfT working together on geological disposal?
We are working together to build a common understanding of the regulatory issues involved in geological disposal. This will help us to have a better understanding of our future roles in regulating the development and operation of any future geological disposal facility for radioactive waste in England and Wales. We are working together when advising the Government, NDA and communities. Working together helps us to build relationships with the people and businesses who have an interest in the geological disposal of radioactive waste. We are co-ordinating our scrutiny work of the NDA’s Radioactive Waste Management Directorate relating to the implementation of geological disposal.
