Research at RWM
We commission scientific research and development, worth several million pounds a year, to support geological disposal.
Radioactive Waste Management Limited (RWM) is the government바카라 사이트™s nominated implementer for delivering a Geological Disposal Facility (GDF) for the UK바카라 사이트™s higher activity radioactive wastes.
We provide details of the expected nature and timing of our planned generic research and development activities in our Science and Technology Plan. By 바카라 사이트˜generic바카라 사이트™, we mean those activities that can be undertaken without specific knowledge of the eventual host site for the geological disposal facility.
Outputs from our research activity can view viewed via RWM바카라 사이트™s Research and Statistics Publications

Research Support Office
RWM established a Research Support Office to:
- deliver academic research outputs that align more closely with RWM바카라 사이트™s needs
- centrally manage research and deliver more coordinated and targeted research
- improve contextual understanding and engagement
- capitalise on economic opportunities from universities and other funding bodies to drive forward research
Research teams within our partner universities benefit from funding that enables them to develop the next generation of researchers. This community of scientists will have specialised knowledge of geological disposal of radioactive waste and the social issues that surround it. Having this knowledge and expertise coordinated across the UK바카라 사이트™s academic institutions allows regulators and supply chain companies to tap in to the latest research to inform their strategies.
