RSRL Integrated Waste Strategy - Issue 5- Oct 2012.pdf

NOT PROTECTIVELY MARKED304. The baseline strategy for thorium is for it to be transferred to the Harwell site for interimstorage pending packaging and disposal to the GDF. RSRL is actively pursuing anopportunity to return the thorium to the fuel cycle for re-use and therefore it will not beprocessed until later in the programme in order not to foreclose options.Miscellaneous ILW305. Miscellaneous ILW and redundant sources on the Winfrith site will also be processedthrough the SGHWR ILW Processing Plant and grouted into RCBs prior to transfer toHarwell for long-term storage in the Harwell ILW store pending disposal to the GDF.306. There are two areas associated with the management strategy for Winfrith ILW whichrequire further development:• The Robust Concrete Box needs to meet the requirements of RWMD and be approvedfor off-site transport.• The Harwell ILW Store needs to obtain necessary approval to receive Winfrith ILW.307. Figure 10 summaries the strategy for ILW at Winfrith:RSRL IWS (Issue 5 – October 2012)84
