This is one of three CoRWM reports to Government in 2009. The reports are about: <br><br>_ interim storage of higher activity wastes (including waste conditioning, packaging and transport, and the management of materials that may be declared to be wastes) <br>_ the implementation of geological disposal of higher activity wastes (this report) <br>_ research and development for interim storage and geological disposal. <br><br>The reports cover the three strands of the Government_s Managing Radioactive Waste Safely programme. They contain the results of CoRWM_s scrutiny, during 2008 and the first part of 2009, of the work of the Government, the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, other nuclear industry organisations, the regulators, local authorities and various organisations that carry out research. The recommendations in the reports are to Government but also affect others.
