Managing our radioactive waste safely

Introduction by the Chair­

The Committee on Radioactive Waste Management was asked by Government in 
2003 to make recommendations for the long-term management of the UK’s higher 
activity wastes thatwould both protect the public and the environment, and inspire 
public confidence. To do this,we have combined a technical assessment of options 
with ethical considerations, examinationof overseas experience and a wide-ranging 
programme of engagement both with the publicand with interested parties 
(stakeholders). I am happy to present our recommendations in thepages that follow. 
Chapter 14 contains our main recommendations and brief rationales for each.

This integrated package of recommendations deals centrally with specific 
management options for radioactive wastes but they are also framed more broadly. 
Government, in setting the Committee’s terms of reference, also suggested that we 
might also want to offer advice on implementation issues and we have placed our 
recommendations on options within a proposed implementation process. Reports 
on implementation and on the inventory of wastes are also attached to this report.

It is impossible to acknowledge all the many individuals and organisations that have 
helped CoRWM to reach its conclusions. But I do especially want to thank both our 
secretariat andour programme managers (AMEC NNC for most of the two and a half 
years) without whom our very large task would have proved impossible in the time 
we had to complete our work.

The Committee believes that our recommendations form a sound basis for the 
further development of radioactive waste management policy in the UK, and urges 
Government to build on the momentum we have helped establish.
