Doubts over geological repository
Nuclear experts have raised concerns over the viability of government plans for long-term disposal of high-level nuclear waste from new reactors.The government intends storing existing nuclear waste in a 'deep geological repository", following recommendations by the Committee on Radioactive Waste Manage-ment (CORWM) three years ago. However, former members of that committee warned last week that the government had assumed that the repository would also be suitable for the most radioactive waste from new reactors. They accused ministers of dragging their feet over detailed analysis. Environmental consultant and former committee board member Peter Wilkinson told PE it was 'irresponsible" for the government to proceed with nuclear new-build when there were so many question marks over the viability of a geological repository.
