Eden Nuclear and Environment Ltd recently produced a new version of the Waste Metrics Dashboard, including an accompanying Guidance Document and a Formula Booklet, for the National Waste Programme Office (NWPO).

The Waste Metrics Dashboard is a tool to report progress made by the UK radioactive waste industry in terms of the volume of radioactive waste managed via disposal and diversion; and any associated metrics such as CO2 avoidance and cost avoidance. The Dashboard is produced on a monthly basis using a MS Excel spreadsheet (the Dashboard Spreadsheet).

Eden NE’s main emphasis throughout this project was developing documents and the Dashboard spreadsheet so that they could be used easily by people with little technical experience or experience of Excel. A key advancement that Eden NE made to the Dashboard spreadsheet itself was the introduction of a number of reporting sheets that allow users to interrogate data for specific metrics, sites and time periods.
