Site Evaluation Services

RWM is responsible for implementing geological disposal of higher activity radioactive wastes.

RWM will act as a developer of a geological disposal facility (GDF) for such waste and is responsible for ensuring that the siting, construction, operation and eventual closure of a GDF complies with the UK’s high standards of safety, security and environmental protection. RWM is committed to engaging and working in partnership with communities and relevant local authorities in England and Wales for the purposes of identifying a suitable location for the development and operation of a GDF. This contract notice relates to establishing a number of frameworks for consultancy services to support in the evaluation of potential sites.
