摘要

United Kingdom Nirex Limited (Nirex) is responsible for providing the United Kingdomrnwith environmentally sound options for the long-term management of intermediate - level andrnsome low-level radioactive waste generated by the Nation’s commercial, medical, researchrnand defence activities. Monitoring and retrievability are key issues in the development ofrnlong-term waste management concepts. It is important that the views of a broad range ofrnstakeholders are considered in the formulation of work programmes to address those keyrnissues.rnThis paper describes how external stakeholders have influenced recent work carried out byrnNirex on phased disposal of radioactive waste. It also describes recent steps Nirex has takenrnas part of an overall process to provide greater opportunity for people to influence futurernwork on monitoring and retrievability of radioactive waste.
