This is an event
NWS has published its Annual Review for 2023 to 2024, which highlights important progress and achievements:
- The safe and secure operation of the Low Level Waste Repository in Cumbria, achieving an 18th consecutive Gold Award from The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) and with zero major safety incidents.
- Positive progress in delivering a GDF as the safe, secure, and long-term solution for the most hazardous radioactive waste. Three communities are engaging in the process and site evaluations are underway.
- Re-using or recycling waste where possible, diverting 98 per cent of waste from disposal at the Repository site in Cumbria. In the past year alone, this has saved nearly £60m – on top of more than £900m saved over the past decade.
- Concluded a multi-year project to retrieve, transport, and emplace over a thousand Treated Radwaste Store (TRS) drums.

We are action-orientated
We deliver for our customers, partners and people and we do it safely, sustainably and securely. We think differently about waste, innovating in everything we do across the nuclear industry to meet the waste challenges of today and in the future.
We are ambitious
We are problem solvers. Our work can be complex, technical, and very long-term in its operation which can make building understanding challenging. But we’re ready to embrace challenges, build on our progress and continue to deliver on our mission.
We act with integrity
We are trusted to build a secure and sustainable future, and we understand that comes with huge responsibility. We’re proud to be part of the generation that is moving forward with safe and permanent solutions for disposal of radioactive waste.
We are collaborative and inclusive
We have greater success when we work together. Our people are our greatest asset, and we are committed to creating an environment where we can all thrive. We all have a role to play in achieving our vision of making nuclear waste permanently safe, sooner.
