The Inventory is used to support a wide range of planning activities, helping the UK to develop safe and efficient ways to manage radioactive wastes and materials.
The Inventory provides essential baseline information to:
- Develop appropriate policies for managing radioactive wastes and materials;
- Prioritise waste and material management activities on site;
- Develop technologies for managing radioactive wastes and materials;
- Plan safe storage and disposal facilities;
- Inform research and development tasks;
- Help stakeholders to understand what wastes and materials we need to manage; and
- Enable the UK to meet international reporting obligations.
