Radioactive Waste Policy and Strategy
Studsvik is at the forefront of waste management solutions,
providing innovative alternatives to disposal in line with the
waste hierarchy. Our consultancy services can help you interpret
and implement international and local radioactive waste
policies. Our comprehensive understanding of the issues is
based on our experience of supporting National Government
programmes, some of which are at the forefront of radioactive
waste management, as well as our own internal international
and national programmes.
Studsvik has owned and operated licensed nuclear facilities
for over fifty years in three countries, which our consultants
have supported from planning and design through to licensing
support. We can help you to understand and implement
the requirements imposed by legislation and regulators. Our
capabilities allow us to support site design and technology
selection as well as understanding cost implications to fully
underpin investment business cases. We can provide support
for design of waste retrieval and waste processing facilities as
well as repositories and landfill sites.
