The Environment Agency has received an application from LLW Repository Ltd to vary its environmental permit (EPR/YP3293SA/V002) to allow further disposal of solid radioactive waste by near surface burial at the Low Level Waste Repository (LLWR) in west Cumbria.

It has consulted on the application and is now seeking comments on its draft decision and draft environmental permit in which it proposes to grant LLW Repository Ltd a permit to dispose of further radioactive waste in line with its application.
