Radioactive Waste Inventory

Any community expressing a willingness to host a Geological Disposal Facility (GDF) should know exactly what it is letting itself in for. So the first question such a community might be expected to ask would be “how much waste will we be expected to host?” In this paper and presentation written for the West Cumbria Managing Radioactive Waste Safely Partnership in August 2010, Pete Roche takes a critical look at the NDA’s inventory of waste likely to be destined for a Geological Disposal Facility, and discusses the ethics of creating more waste by building new reactors.
