West Cumbria Sites Stakeholder Group
LLW Repository sub-committee
Message from Sue Brown, Chair
"It is important that people know exactly what is going on at the LLW Repository and this is one of the reasons that the LLWR sub committee was formed. The meetings act as an interface between the community, the site operators, the regulators and the NDA and give the opportunity for representation of local community interests."
The Low Level Waste Repository Sub-Committee considers all aspects of the repository site at Drigg.
At the first meeting, which was held in November 2004, the list of topics below were identified for discussion.
Topics
- Transport (movements, infrastructure, effect on properties)
- Name of facility
- Noise and light pollution
- Higher stacking proposal
- Next disposal area ( bulk material handling, modular vaults, transport options, BPM)
- Safety Cases/Authorisations
- NDA
- Future of LLW disposals especially from decommissioning
- Socio-economic issues: identify and feed into process
Community Prospectus
Copeland Borough Council produced a Community Prospectus. The document informed the bidders for the LLWR contract of what the Community expects from them and what the Community can offer to the new operator. This has been done in agreement with the NDA.
