DESCRIPTION:Exploring the past\, present and future of radioactive waste m
 anagement in the UK.\n\nThis presentation will explore the past\, present 
 and future of radioactive waste management in the UK.  The UK was a pione
 ering nuclear nation\, a legacy of which is one of the largest nuclear dec
 ommissioning and remediation programmes in Europe.  The most hazardous ra
 dioactive waste arising from this decommissioning programme will require i
 solation and containment in a deep underground geological disposal facilit
 y\, for the thousands of years it will take for the radioactivity to safel
 y decay.  Through this presentation\, we will explore how this waste is g
 enerated through nuclear activities and decommissioning\, and the challeng
 e of its safe\, secure and environmentally responsible treatment\, packagi
 ng and disposal.\n\nAll welcome. More details "here":https://www.csar.org.
