Date Time Position paper on regulation of a geological disposal facility and management of radioactive waste published As progress is made towards a geological disposal facility for higher level radioactive wastes, it is vital that the public in general, and potential host communities in particular, have a clear understanding of how such a facility would be regulated and by whom, and have confidence in the independence and robustness of that regulatory system. The independent advisory committee, CoRWM has produced a Position Paper looking specifically at regulation, addressing these issues. This has involved CoRWM in several months of discussion with the relevant regulators, the Office for Nuclear regulation, Environment Agency, Scottish Environmental Protection Agency and Natural Resources Wales.
