CSW 17 Nuclear Waste Treatment and Storage at Dungeness

Facilities for the storage and/or management of radioactive waste will be acceptable within the Nuclear Licensed area at Dungeness where:

  1. this is consistent with the national strategy for managing radioactive waste and discharges
  2. the outcome of environmental assessments justify it being managed on site.

The only waste arisings from Dungeness Nuclear Licensed Site that will be acceptable as fill material for the back-filling of voids within the nuclear licensed site are inert (non-radioactive) wastes generated by the demolition of existing buildings and structures. Landfill or landraise activities that use radioactive wastes within the nuclear licensed site will not be granted planning permission.
