Research Sites Restoration Limited (RSRL)
(also referred to as UKAEA Harwell)
RSRL provided Augean with technical support in relation to the Low Level Wastes
from the perspective of a waste producer and consignor. RSRL attended the public
exhibition to provide information to the public on the wastes.
Research Sites Restoration Limited (RSRL) is the site licence company responsible
for the closure programme at Harwell and Winfrith. Winfrith was a major centre for
groundbreaking reactor development from the late 1950s to the 1990s whilst
Harwell’s origins go back to the dawn of the UK’s nuclear industry in the 1940s.
RSRL is a wholly-owned subsidiary of UKAEA (the United Kingdom Atomic Energy
Authority) and operates under contract to the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority
(NDA).
