NDA National LLW Strategy Group
LLW Repository Ltd is working in partnership with the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) to establish the National Low Level Waste Strategy Group. This section of our website details the work of the Strategy Group and provides information on the development and implementation of a National Low Level Waste (LLW) Strategy.
The National Low Level Waste Strategy Group has been established to develop a working partnership between the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, LLW Repository Ltd, Regulators, Stakeholders and LLW Consignors to promote innovation, value for money, and implementation of the waste hierarchy by planning for effective waste disposal solutions. This initiative will support ongoing nuclear operations, the nuclear site decommissioning and remediation programme and LLW management needs of ‘non-NDA’ commercial organisations. The National Low Level Waste Strategy Group shall serve as a primary point of contact for integration and engagement on LLW innovations, issues, and strategy development.
