LLW Repository
LLWR is the UK’s only dedicated facility for the disposal of low level radioactive waste and has operated safely since 1959. Low level waste (LLW) mainly arises from the nuclear industry, power generation, and decommissioning activities, but it is also created by research, healthcare, defence and the oil and gas industries. LLW is typically comprised of materials used in a radioactive operating environment such as paper, cardboard, plastic, protective clothing, soil, rubble and metal. The waste is containerised for transport to the site by either rail or road. Wherever possible, LLW is treated and/or compacted to reduce the final disposal volume and upon arrival at LLWR, the containers are grouted prior to emplacement in engineered concrete vaults.

Studsvik
The Studsvik Metals Recycling facility in Lillyhall, Workington safely recycles large quantities of valuable scrap metal. This will help to ensure that the amount of Low Level Waste (LLW) that is sent for disposal to the National Low Level Waste Repository near Drigg in Cumbria is kept to a minimum. The facility was developed by Studsvik in line with UK low level waste policy and waste hierarchy for the storage and disposal of radioactive waste.
