The NWS Annual Review 2021-22 explains our organisational transition and development of NWS, alongside significant successes over the past year (1 April 2021-31 March 2022), including:

  • An outstanding safety record – with zero reportable incidents at the LLW Repository Site throughout a very busy Covid impacted year.

  • Real progress in the search for a suitable site and a willing community for a Geological Disposal Facility (GDF) – with four search areas and community engagement in different parts of the country.

  • Achieving multi-million pound savings through innovative management of nuclear waste, such as the treatment of plutonium-contaminated materials.

The Annual Review also sets out our plans for the next few years. With a focus on delivery, we’ll progress our transformation, turning NWS into an organisation that continues to deliver now while building a new future.

Alongside the main Annual Review, a summary version has also been produced. This can be viewed here.
