Many years for UK government to find a nuclear waste sit with suitable geology and a willing community

NWS chief executive Corhyn Parr said: “We need enough suitable geology to
accommodate a GDF and to support safety cases to build, operate and close
the facility. “Our assessments show evidence of limited volume of suitable
rock for a GDF in the Allerdale search area, including the adjacent inshore
area.”

NSW said finding a suitable site and a willing community, along with
securing the necessary consents and permits, could take about 15 years. The
assessment of three other potential sites is continuing and “the door also
remains open” for new communities to join the process, it added.
