Welcome to the West Cumbria Managing Radioactive Waste Safely Partnership. We have now completed the formal public consultation to consider whether West Cumbria should take part in the search for a site for a repository for the UK's higher activity radioactive waste, without any commitment to have it.
The results of the consultation are now being analysed. Once this process is complete, we will finalise our report which will go to Allerdale Borough Council, Copeland Borough Council and Cumbria County Council for a formal decision later in the year.
