Insight into nuclear decommissioning

Sharing experiences on geological disposal 

 Aspo tunnel

The NDA recently hosted a visit by members of the Nuclear Waste Technical Review Board which is responsible for overseeing technical issues of geological disposal in the United States.

The 14 strong delegation met with specialists within our Radioactive Waste Management Directorate. Discussions centred around roles and responsibilities and developments on geological disposal in both countries.

Our staff learnt more about developments at Yucca Mountain in Nevada, while the Americans focussed on safety cases, our site characterisation process and our needs-driven research and development programme.

Both groups agreed the visit was highly beneficial.
