Implementation of geological disposal

The UK government (through the Department of Energy and Climate Change, DECC) is working with the NDA through its RWMD (a prospective
site licence company) on finding a site and implementing the construction of a GDF through the volunteer process. The variety of the UK’s wastes mean that a multi-level and chamber repository will be needed with differ­ent wastes in separate sections (Fig. 16.10; NDA, 2010).
