IWM Topics Integrated Waste Management Lower Activity Wastes Non-Radioactive & Hazardous Wastes Higher Activity Wastes Other themes (Site Restoration etc) NDA STRATEGY THEME TOPIC

NDA IWM key messages (1) Our strategy is to ensure that wastes are managed in a manner that provides value for money, protects people and the environment, whilst complying with UK Government and Devolved Governments policies and regulations. We continue to promote the importance of waste characterisation, improved waste information and waste segregation to facilitate waste management planning and application of the Waste Hierarchy.
4
NDA IWM key messages (2) Our Higher Activity Waste Strategy is to implement the UK Government’s policy of deep geological disposal and the Scottish Government policy for long-term management in near surface facilities. LLWR is central to our LLW strategy and it is important that we make best use of this facility’s remaining ccapacity. We will reduce disposal volumes by waste prevention, reusing materials and recycling wherever possible.
