project proposal- Geological Radioactive Waste Disposal

Document Content and Description Below

Geological disposal entails isolating radioactive waste inside a deep volume of rock to minimize any chances of exposure to radioactivity reaching the surface environment. The radioactivity waste is p... ut inside barriers protected over many years. In July 2014, the government of the United Kingdom published a white paper indicating how the implementation of the Geological Disposal would be carried out. The article describes a renewed approach to the performance of this project in the UK following a consultation that had taken place the previous year. In the document, the fundamental principles were how the developer, together with the government, would engage with the public and experts to provide clarity on the significant issues that interest the public, among them the national geological screening, planning of the federal land use for the project, representation of the community, and further investments to be expected by the community in the process of site selection.
