2007 Radioactive Waste Inventory Published
12 June 2008
The latest United Kingdom Radioactive Waste Inventory has been published today.
The inventory describes the stocks of radioactive waste held in the UK at 1 April 2007. It also predicts wastes that could arise from the operation and decommissioning of current facilities and gives information on materials that could be classified as waste in the future. The 2007 Inventory contains details of over one thousand individual wastes that have been reported by organisations responsible for their management.
The UK Radioactive Waste Inventory is provided by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) and the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA).
The 2007 Inventory consists of five documents:
- an executive summary;
- a 140-page main report on the waste;
- an international data report;
- a review of processes contributing to radioactive waste; and
- a report detailing various materials including those materials not currently classified as waste.
The information, like that from previous Inventories, is being made publicly available.

Organisations involved with UK nuclear activities, and leading environmental groups will receive a free hard copy.
Hard copies will be lodged with the British Library, for general access, and with the libraries of Defra and the NDA. Other organisations and individuals can obtain hard copies of the summary report or a CD-ROM, carrying both that report and others providing more information from NDA.
