National Waste Programme
The National Waste Programme (NWP), which is part of the IWMP, was established to implement the UK LLW Strategy, and is an industry wide collaboration led by Nuclear Waste Services on behalf of the NDA.
The UK LLW Strategy, first published in 2010 (revised 2016), has three guiding themes:
- Application of the Waste Hierarchy
- The best use of existing LLW management assets
- The need for new fit for purpose waste management routes
