Welcome to the NuLeAF website, where you will find information about NuLeAF policy and activities.
NuLeAF seeks to build capacity within local government to engage effectively with nuclear legacy management and works to represent the views of member local authorities to national bodies.
BRIEFING PAPER FOR ELECTED MEMBERS
This Briefing Paper provides a high level overview of radioactive waste management and the role of the Nuclear Legacy Advisory Forum (NuLeAF). It covers:
Categories of radioactive wastes and materials
Main steps in the management of radioactive wastes
National roles and responsibilities
Government policies for radioactive waste management
Government has invited local communities to express an interest in entering into discussions about the possibility of hosting a Geological Disposal Facility (GDF). NuLeAF can provide advice or briefings for any local authority that may wish to find out more about potential involvement in the siting process. To do so please contact NuLeAF at geological.disposal@nuleaf.org.uk
We have also established a section of this website dedicated to information about the siting process. To access it click on the GEOLOGICAL DISPOSAL box at the bottom of the left hand list of pages.
