Our work

Nuclear Waste Services will build on work delivered over many decades, while adding more essential services for customers in the nuclear energy, defence, industrial, medical, and research sectors.

We’ll draw on years of innovation by LLWR, where a full range of specialist skills and solutions – waste characterisation, treatment, recycling, volume reduction, packaging, and disposal – have been developed.

This has optimised the lifetime of the repository. Waste is only disposed directly at the repository site if it cannot be diverted for alternative treatment and disposal.

Developing a Geological Disposal Facility (GDF) for the permanent disposal of higher activity radioactive wastes is a strategic imperative, and represents one of the UK’s largest environmental and infrastructure programmes. The UK search for a suitable site is, uniquely, based on consent from a willing community and includes a right to withdraw from the process right up until a test of public support.

One of our commitments is to work with waste producers to overcome a range of challenges and to capitalise on new opportunities. We will do this by thinking differently about waste and enabling a flexible approach to long-term waste management.

The IWMP has been charged with this work, creating, and developing new approaches and defining the appropriate implementation routes. This will be crucial for delivering more efficiency, greater speed and lower costs.

Nuclear Waste Services will continue to put the voice of our people, customers, communities, and supply chain at the heart of everything we do.
