MEMORANDUM ON NUCLEAR WASTE TO HOUSE OF COMMONS SELECT COMMITTEE ON THE ENVIRONMENT 
FROM FRIENDS OF THE EARTH LTD.

SUMMARY

1. The current proposals for the land disposal of radioactive waste are lacking in
scientific and technical justification and are based more on political decisions.

2. Large volumes of additional radioactive waste are being created at the Windscale
reprocessing plant. The reprocessing of thermal-oxide spent fuel has no justification 
on economic or waste management grounds, and is merely compounding the nuclear 
waste problem.

3. The storage of spent fuel is an important and viable alternative to reprocessing
and the disposal of radioactive wastes.

4. A number of important categories of radioactive waste have received insufficient
attention from the nuclear industry. These include wastes arising from the 
decommissioning of nuclear plant.

5. The Institutions which currently administer and control the production and
management of radioactive wastes do not command public respect at present. 
Changes will be required in these if public acceptability towards radioactive waste 
is to improve.
