Assessing Packaging Proposals
Our Radioactive Waste Management Directorate (RWMD) advises waste packaging organisations and nuclear site operators on:
- their plans for packaging higher-activity radioactive waste
- the interim storage of radioactive waste packages prior to dispatch to a geological disposal facility.
This involves:
- reviewing the properties and performance of proposed packages, known as the Letter of Compliance (LoC) process
- providing guidance on a wide range of packaging issues
- periodic review to ensure that waste packages produced remain disposable.
