7 - Radioactive Waste Management at Bradwell-on-Sea

Proposals for facilities for the management of nuclear radioactive Intermediate Level Waste (ILW), Low Level Waste (LLW) or Very Low Level Waste (VLLW) will be supported within the Nuclear Licensed Areas at Bradwell-on-Sea, where:

  • the proposals are consistent with the national strategy for managing ILW, LLW and VLLW as well as the decommissioning plans for the Bradwell-on-Sea power station;
  • the proposals are informed by the outcome of economic and environmental assessments that support and justify the management of radioactive waste at this location, and;
  • the proposals would not cause any unacceptable adverse impacts to the environment, human health or local amenity.
