Scotland’s Supplemtary Consultation on Radwaste Policy

The Scottish Government’s Annex to the Environmental Report  for its proposed Higher Activity Radioactive Waste Policy was published in September 2010 to provide a supplementary assessment of policy alternatives. This NWAA consultation response agrees with the Scottish Government policy of not supporting deep geological disposal of radioactive waste but believes the case against is much stronger than is set out in the Supplementary Assessment document.This additional consultation on the proposed Higher Activity Radioactive Waste Policy was carried out because several respondents to the consultation earlier in 2010 asked for a fuller comparison of the draft policy with the alternative of deep geological disposal.
