Exploring the past, present and future of radioactive waste management in the UK.

This presentation will explore the past, present and future of radioactive waste management in the UK.  The UK was a pioneering nuclear nation, a legacy of which is one of the largest nuclear decommissioning and remediation programmes in Europe.  The most hazardous radioactive waste arising from this decommissioning programme will require isolation and containment in a deep underground geological disposal facility, for the thousands of years it will take for the radioactivity to safely decay.  Through this presentation, we will explore how this waste is generated through nuclear activities and decommissioning, and the challenge of its safe, secure and environmentally responsible treatment, packaging and disposal.
