Committee on Radioactive Waste Management visit Sellafield
The Committee on Radioactive Waste Management (CoRWM) visited Sellafield on the 5 October 2017.
The visit gave the Committee the chance to observe progress on decommissioning progress first hand, and maintain dialogue with waste producers and managers. Sellafield currently manages roughly 60% of the UK바카라 사이트™s waste inventory by volume, and will be a key stakeholder for any potential UK Geological Disposal Facility.
The Committee received updates on the Sellafield Sites Ltd바카라 사이트™s projects, strategy, and organisational activities. Committee members also examined the site, observing ongoing decommissioning projects such as the Pile Fuel Cladding Silo; facilities for vitrification and storage of high level waste; and spent-fuel receipt and storage facilities in the Fuel Handling Plant.
The visit was a great success, with productive discussion giving members a better understanding of Sellafield Site Ltd바카라 사이트™s long term waste management strategies and the possible interactions between Sellafield and a potential UK Geological Disposal Facility.
