One of the least known but most pressing public issues of our time, is sorting out the radioactive waste our society has accumulated, which will remain dangerous for many hundreds of thousands of years. There is an overwhelming ethical, environmental and economic case for the geological disposal of that waste. But this is an emotive, as well as complex, issue -- GDFWatch is here to help individuals and communities understand and participate in the debate. While broadly supporting the UK Government’s approach to geological disposal, we want to ensure that this and future Governments fulfil the commitments they are making — and that affected communities and public safety really are at the centre of decision-making. We are a not-for-profit citizen organisation founded to help individuals and communities understand the issues, offer trusted impartial advice and opinion, and keep all those responsible for delivering geological disposal on their toes and to their promises.
