Details

Under the terms of our Permit granted by the Environment Agency, we are required to submit an ESC for the LLWR no later than 1st May 2011 and at intervals thereafter as requested by the Agency. The ESC:

  • presents the arguments and evidence concerning the environmental safety of disposals of solid radioactive waste at the LLWR, at present and in the future, consistent with the Agency’s Guidance on Requirements for Authorisation;

  • provides a basis for the environmentally safe management of the site by the SLC, and regulation of the site by the Agency, including setting of conditions on its future management and acceptance of waste.

The ESC is addressed primarily to the Agency and is intended to inform and enable their regulation of the LLWR. It also provides a plan for the future management of the LLWR and a baseline against which proposed changes in the plan for the development of the facility can be tested.
