This process is currently at the planning stage, with a key milestone of engagement set to conclude on 6th April 2021. The scope encompasses a range of activities related to the retrieval and processing of Intermediate Level Waste (ILW) at various Magnox sites, which includes operations such as waste characterisation and container dispatch.
