| Abstract |
This report describes the results of an audit carried out at two nuclear fuel processing plants in the United Kingdom to establish the current state of radioactive waste management in relation to regulatory requirements. Volume 1 describes the audit methodology, findings, recommendations made and a response by the operators of the sites. Volume 2 presents reports on the waste management arrangements observed in individual buildings. Although none of the waste was considered to pose an immediate risk to workers or the public, the standard of radioactive waste management at both sites was variable. |
