Committee on Radioactive Waste Management
independent scrutiny and advice
Welcome
Welcome to the CoRWM website. We provide independent scrutiny and advice on the UK's management of its solid radioactive waste, including plans for interim storage and geological disposal of higher activity waste. The aim of this site is to provide information about our work and about radioactive waste and its management, and to seek your views.
