Executive Summary

A Joint Waste Management Plan (JWMP) is a proactive management plan for the next 5

years that has been developed by the SLC in conjunction with LLW Repository Ltd. Its

purpose is to demonstrate how the SLC is engaging with the National LLW Programme to

improve their implementation of and compliance with the UK Low Level Waste (LLW)

Strategy, through the delivery of the Programme Blueprint.

This JWMP provides an overview of the SLC’s current arrangements (section 1) for

managing their LLW arisings and identifies the transformational activities (section 2) that they

are undertaking, either independently or in collaboration with LLW Repository Ltd and other

organisations, to make a step change in their LLW management arrangements to deliver the

National Programme Blueprint future state. Section 3 provides an opportunity to identify

specific step change projects that are not within the current scope of work but which could be

undertaken either if funding became available or if internal or collaborative resource could be

identified to support the project. Appendix 1 contains the forecast of arisings by waste route

for the next five years and Appendix 2 provides a summary of the benefits identified as a

result of using the diversion routes.

This JWMP has been agreed by senior management as a commitment to the delivery of the

activities listed within. Key transformational activities will be tracked within the National

Programme governance arrangements to:

Assess performance;

Highlight success;

Deliver an integrated approach to dealing with the UK’s LLW.

It contains activities and waste forecasts for the 5 year period of 2015/16 to 2019/20.

Section 1 Sellafield LLW Management Delivery Activities

Sellafield is a large and complex site with a wide range of operational and decommissioning

activities being undertaken. Under an overall site Integrated Waste Strategy the Sellafield

Limited approach to manage LLW is founded on the UK LLW Strategy to effectively apply the

waste management hierarchy to manage LLW.

A schematic summary of the overall approach is provided below (extracted from Sellafield

LLW Strategy):

Unit also has a dedicated Solid Waste Plant Controller. The key roles are subjected to a

detailed training and SQEP’ing programme with all site personnel provided with detailed

waste management awareness training.

There is an overarching requirement to avoid and minimise waste arisings, where

practicable. Waste that will arise is forecasted, classified, and appropriately segregated and

controlled. It is then formally routed in accordance with the existing BAT approach for the

waste.

Sellafield Limited operates a number of on-site LLW management capabilities to support

recycling and onward waste management. These include:

A characterisation capability

Bagged waste monitoring facilities

A Metals Recycling Facility decontaminating metals for recycling

A Waste Monitoring and Compaction (WAMAC) facility providing supercompaction &

volume reduction for Sellafield wastes as well as the rest of the UK nuclear estate

Management capability for non-compactable wastes

Decontamination capability and facilities

On site landfill disposal providing capability for lower activity wastes and also some

wastes which cannot be disposed of at the LLWR

In conjunction with LLWR, Sellafield has also undertaken extensive work to explore, trial,

commission and implement a range of off-site capabilities to support optimising LLW

management. These include:

UK-based and overseas capabilities for recycling metal

UK-based incineration capabilities to process oils, oil/water mixtures and solid wastes

suitable for combustion

UK-based VLLW and LAW disposal routes for lower activity wastes.

A routine interface is maintained with LLWR to facilitate ongoing operations, and with the

wider NDA/non-NDA SLCs, through the National Waste Programme Office, to monitor and

co-ordinate ongoing work and to share best practice and support issue resolution.

The ongoing transformation activities involve enhancing the on-site LLW management

capability, including forecasting and training, as well as introducing enhanced capability to

divert waste suitable for re-use, treatment or alternative disposal away from LLWR disposal.

2.2 Transformational Project List Transformational projects are those activities that will be undertaken by the SLC which will make a step change in the management of LLW. They

are discrete work package with defined start and end dates, which introduce improvements to work practices to deliver financial and non-financial

benefits. Each transformational activity should be identified on the Benefit Map as a project.

(It is noted that many of the activities detailed below summarise multi-component programmes of work captured in the Sellafield Low Level Waste

Management Development Programme).
