What it’s all about
Other countries around the world are working in partnership with communities to find a suitable site for the long-term disposal of used nuclear fuel. Join us to hear about one of the United Kingdom’s largest environmental protection programmes, a Geological Disposal Facility (GDF), including experience with transportation of used nuclear fuel, engagement practices and lessons learned.

She has spent the past nine years contributing to the UK’s Geological Disposal Facility programme for the safe and secure disposal of radioactive waste, serving as Principal Community Engagement Advisor with Nuclear Waste Services (NWS). She has been central to shaping how communities participate in one of the country’s most significant long term environmental programmes working with Community Partnerships and developing guidance for communities in the siting process.
