Listen in to BBC Radio 4 #InsideScience to hear me witter on about my favourite topic, radioactive waste!☢️Thanks so much to @amsterdammed for speaking with me about geological disposal, radwaste from fusion energy and our Fukushima research! bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0013z… @msesheffield

And so ends a REALLY busy week for @CoRWM, who visited @SellafieldLtd, @UKNNL and, today, @llwrsite with @rwm_gdf_uk. We've learned much about decommissioning and radioactive waste management challenges across the @NDAgovuk estate. More to follow soon...

This is the JET (Joint European Torus) reactor, which is the first (and only) device to produce controlled fusion power with deuterium and tritium. The temperature of the plasma generated by fusion is a whopping 100 million degrees Celsius! @UKAEAofficial #CCFE

Nuclear fusion waste, Magnox reprocessing, working with communities, regulation, inshore disposal, retrievability, uranic materials - just a few of the topics covered by the group of independent experts that comprise @CoRWM. A great meeting this week, diolch Caerdydd! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Calling all graduates!! Fantastic opportunity to work with @corwm, supporting the safe and timely management and disposal of #radioactive #waste in the UK. Check it out 👇

Lots to catch up on at the plenary meeting of the Committee on Radioactive Waste Management @CoRWM this afternoon. From working with communities to radioactive waste disposal regulation and management, we're working hard, even in this 2D environment! @beisgovuk

Members of @CoRWM were delighted to meet with the Councillors of @allerdale yesterday evening, to discuss the latest geological disposal facility siting process and to hear from the @Allerdale_WG. Personally, I hope this is the start of a long, open and fruitful dialogue!

Some context for my quote in "UK returns to grappling with toxic nuclear waste dilemma" @FT. The contact dose rate for packaged spent nuclear fuel is ~1300 Sv/h today (1 Sv/h after 300 y). Only 5 Sv, in a short time, results in a 50% risk of fatality. ft.com/content/2321bfae-839a…

Great news for the UK radioactive waste geological disposal facility voluntary siting process! A second Working Group has been formed to work with local communities and @rwm_gdf_uk to assess the potential of the area to host a disposal facility. Find out more👇 @Allerdale_WG

Delighted to participate in the @NDAgovuk Integrated Waste Management Programme stakeholder event on behalf of @CoRWM, discussing the importance of stakeholder engagement in delivery of radioactive waste management strategy. Read more on the strategy here: bit.ly/3pOr2vh
