LLW Repository LtdNational Waste ProgrammeNWP/REP/011Issue 2.1 – Jan 2013Page 56 of 58of characterisation as a mechanism to facilitate the underpinning of wasteclassifications and optioneering decisions is highlighted. Opportunities to down-classifywaste, re-use and recycle should be sought and exploited where practicable. Disposalshould be considered to be a worst case approach, and should only be pursued whereother options have been exhausted and where demonstrated to be BAT. Carefulconsideration should be given to the nature and management strategy for anysecondary wastes generated through the use of a treatment approach. In particular,generation of orphan wastes should be avoided.• A number of generic issues and barriers have been identified which make effectivemanagement of pond furniture more challenging for SLCs. These include the nature ofthe waste (i.e. the variability in the radiochemical characteristics of the waste within theinventory), the environment where the waste is stored (e.g. high dose environmentsmaking characterisation and waste management more dose intensive to operators, sorequiring more automated and remote systems for waste management), tensions withthe regulatory permitting regime and limited facilities, particularly for higher activitywastes. Opportunities have been identified to improve transfer of knowledge and toinvestigate the viability of centralised facilities for management of pond furniture.A company owned by UK Nuclear Waste Management LtdNOT PROTECTIVELY MARKED
