This problem is a UK government area of research interest (ARI) that was originally posted at https://ari.org.uk/ by a UK government organisation to indicate that they are keen to see research related to this area.
Disposal of waste
There is a considerable amount of R&D underway by Nuclear Waste Services to support the delivery of existing approaches to disposal such as a Geological Disposal Facility and Low Level Waste Repository. We are interested in alternatives to these existing approaches where they show lifecycle benefits. This includes in situ disposal and near-surface disposal. We are also interested in technologies and techniques that would improve the design, construction, operation and closure of disposal facilities.
