Abstract
The disposal of radioactive waste within the UK is managed through a comprehensive regulatory framework. This framework requires radioactive waste to be sufficiently well characterized to ensure its disposal is compliant with the regulations and the acceptance criteria for any receiving facility. This is the responsibility of both the waste consignor and the receiving facility.
