Development of radioactive waste (RAW) management strategies

Regulation and industry practice have evolved to reflect the principles of radiological protection and practicability of implementing options. This section is primarily aimed at the civil nuclear sector. Defence sites and wastes are generally managed in a similar way, although formal require­ments identified for the civil nuclear industry do not extend to defence activities. However, it is the policy of the Ministry of Defence (MoD) to meet standards equivalent to them where practicable.
