LLW Repository Ltd held its annual Customer Forum on Thursday 20th May 2010, at the Rheged Centre at Penrith. The event provided an opportunity to review the developments in low level waste management that have taken place in the past 12 months.
Since the last Forum in April 2009, there have been many developments in this sector of the industry including new Waste Services Contract and completion of Vault 9 construction at the Repository. Within LLW Repository Ltd, we have been working with Customers, Suppliers and Regulators to develop alternative options for the treatment and disposal of low level waste. Looking to the future, the forum provides an insight into our current work and future plans covering a diverse range of topics from segregated wastes through customer contracts to packaging solutions.
The agenda for the day, the speaker’s slides and videos of the presentations are now available for download in this section of our website.
