In its November 2010 response to the House of Lords Science and Technology Select Committee’s report, Radioactive Waste Management: a Further Update (March 2010), the UK government committed to producing an annual report to Parliament, setting out progress in relation to the management of higher activity radioactive waste.
The eighth report sets out progress made in relation to the management of higher activity radioactive waste for the period April 2017 to April 2019.
Following the publication of the updated policy framework for higher activity radioactive waste in December 2018, and the launch of the process to identify a location to develop a geological disposal facility (GDF), this will be the last report produced under our 2010 commitment.
