The Scottish government is a joint sponsor with the UK government and other devolved administrations of the UK-wide policy for the management of LLW published in 2007 (UK Government, 2007). This policy was imple­mented by an enabling strategy developed by NDA in 2010 (UK Govern­ment, 2010) of which the Scottish government was again a joint sponsor. Consequently there is no difference in approach to LLW management in Scotland than anywhere else in the UK, and LLW generated in Scotland is routinely transported to the LLWR in Cumbria for disposal. The exception is LLW generated at Dounreay which is disposed of on-site and described in detail in Section 17.6.
