Not least because of this, it has been managed in a number of ways in the past: using the national disposal facility at Drigg in Cumbria, using various forms of disposal on the nuclear site on which the waste was generated, using controlled burial to landfill and, for small quantities of very low-level waste, through disposal with other ordinary refuse. With many nuclear sites and facilities moving into their decommissioning phase, and with the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) being set up to deal with this, it has been increasingly recognised that there will be a very large volume of LLW to be dealt with.The proposed policy review will consider how best to use those forms of long term management that already exist and in particular: the best use of the Drigg facility;the merits of transporting LLW from its source of origin, and the relative advantages of on site disposal as opposed to controlled burial to landfill offsite.The aim is to identify a policy framework, which will update that set out in the 1995 White Paper Review of Radioactive Waste Management Policy: Final Conclusions (Cm2919) to cover the future management of LLW, notably by the NDA.
