Eden NE have played a leading role in research and development in the area of Near-Surface Disposal (NSD) since 2018. We have supported the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority's (NDA's) strategic programme on NSD, including carrying out projects for Nuclear Waste Services (NWS). We recently led a feasibility study considering NSD in Scotland on behalf of NDA and Scottish Government, via the NDA DRP framework. The study considered all technical areas relevant to the feasibility of NSD in Scotland, including the policy and regulatory context, design concepts, site characteristics, environmental performance of different concepts, potential Scottish inventory suitable for NSD, transport, nuclear safety and security, cost and schedule. We were supported by our subcontractors WSP, Hydrock Ltd, Gardiner and Theobald and Cyclife UK in delivering this large project, which involved a team of around 40 people.
