Once built, a Geological Disposal Facility (GDF) will be part of the lifeblood of the community that hosts it for well over a century, providing thousands of skilled jobs over multiple generations. The surrounding area will draw in resources, goods …
Yr wythnos diwethaf, aethom i dref heulog Brighton, cartref y pier enwog, llawer o gynadleddau pleidiau, a Chyngres flynyddol yr Undebau Llafur (TUC). Mae’n bwysig i RWM ei fod yn ymgysylltu â chynulleidfaoedd allweddol o'r diwydiant a’r undebau oherwydd rydym …

Lucy Bailey is a chartered physicist working for Radioactive Waste Management, and it’s her job to show that a Geological Disposal Facility (GDF) will not cause any harm to people or the environment. Geological disposal involves isolating and containing radioactive waste in sealed vaults and tunnels deep underground, between 200 m and 1000 m below the surface. This prevents radioactivity from ever reaching the surface in levels that could cause harm.
