Details

The UK has a large inventory of uranium materials, comprising depleted, natural and low-enriched uranium (DNLEU), which require management to an end point.

This CoRWM position paper concludes that the UK Nuclear Materials Inventory, owned by Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA), should continue to include scenario-based forecasts of future uranium arisings, which can be enabled by close cooperation between the NDA and third party owners of uranium.
