NOT PROTECTIVELY MARKED2 INTRODUCTION16. The Harwell site in Oxfordshire and the Winfrith site in Dorset are managed together as oneSite Licence Company (SLC) known as Research Sites Restoration Limited (RSRL).17. NDA requires all its sites to produce and implement an optimised Integrated Waste Strategy(IWS) to the specification ENG01, Rev 2, 2 August 2006. The RSRL IWS documentoutlines the current strategy for managing the radioactive and non-radioactive waste on theHarwell and Winfrith sites and supports the waste strategy in the latest RSRL Lifetime Plan.A site waste Best Practicable Environmental Option (BPEO) study was completed in 2008for Harwell and 2006 for Winfrith. As a result of these studies a fully optimised IWS wasdeveloped in 2010 for all wastes on the sites.18. The overall objective of the IWS is to demonstrate how RSRL will assess and manage allradioactive and non-radioactive wastes (including those in solid, liquid or gaseous form)arising from the site’s past, present and future operations and any other waste transferredfrom other sites for management or disposal.19. The strategy demonstrates that the waste can be appropriately managed in accordance withthe requirements of the ‘Best Practicable Environmental Option’ (BPEO) and ‘BestPracticable Means’ (BPM) methodologies 3 . It enables RSRL to demonstrate to regulatorsand stakeholders, the proper control of wastes in the timeframe and at the rate at which theyarise.20. The Site Waste Management Plans Regulations 2008 require construction sites to producea plan that details the amount and type of waste that will be produced and how it will bereused, recycled, or disposed of. The plan is updated during the construction or demolitionprocess to record how the waste is managed and to confirm the disposal of any materialsthat cannot be reused or recycled at a legitimate site. RSRL procedure PRC0199 requiresprojects to complete a Site Waste Management Plan (SWMP) for each project with a valuein excess of £300k. The RSRL IWS is used to complement the detailed given by projectSWMPs.21. In September 2011, RSRL, in collaboration with the national Low Level Waste Repository(LLWR), issued a joint LLW Management Plan. The plan is a proactive document to assistin implementing the UK LLW Strategy. RSRL has made significant progress in seekingalternatives to direct disposal of waste to LLWR by actively developing routes for thedisposal of LLW and HV-LLW to off-site landfill. RSRL also continues to develop alternativeroutes for the treatment of segregated metals and combustible materials.22. During 2011, RSRL and LLW conducted a joint review of options for making RSRL’sdecontamination service at Winfrith available to other nuclear operations and concluded thatthere was already sufficient capacity to adequately serve the nuclear industry at that time.This position was reviewed in June 2012 with the same conclusion. There is scope forfurther alignment of RSRLs activies with the National Strategy and RSRL continues to workcollaboratively with LLWR and other SLCs to develop best practice arrangements in wastemanagement.3The Environmental Permitting Regulations 2010 have since superseded BPEO (and Best PracticableMeans (BPM)) with Best Available Technique (BAT)RSRL IWS (Issue 5 – October 2012)11
