Deciding the future of the UK's radioactive waste
|
Inventory of UK radioactive wastes CoRWM has completed its work to produce an agreed and
up-to-date inventory of radioactive wastes in the UK. It
provides a basis for assessing the management options in our next
phase of work. These reports were completed in the
Autumn following confirmation of the 2004 radioactive waste
inventory data.
CoRWM has commissioned a study examining some of the issues
surrounding plutonium management. This document presents a summary
of the estimated inventories of civil plutonium in the UK,
techniques for immobilisation or utilisation of the plutonium
stocks and consideration of these techniques against CoRWM's
short-listed options identified for the management of radioactive
waste.
