Welcome to the NuLeAF website, where you will find information about NuLeAF policy and activities.
NuLeAF seeks to build capacity within local government to engage effectively with nuclear legacy management and works to represent the views of member local authorities to national bodies.
COMMENTS ON THE DRAFT NUCLEAR NATIONAL POLICY STATEMENT
NuLeAF has submitted its comments on the radioactive waste management aspects of the draft Nuclear National Policy Statement. These comments include:
The need for the Infrastructure Planning Commission to consider the radioactive waste management issues raised in Local Impact Reports
The question of whether effective arrangements will exist to manage and dispose of the waste from new nuclear power stations
The need for potentially affected local authorities to be involved in discussion about the pros and cons of options for the interim storage of spent fuel from new nuclear power stations.

SITING A GEOLOGICAL DISPOSAL FACILITY
Government has invited local communities to express an interest in entering into discussions about the possibility of hosting a Geological Disposal Facility (GDF). NuLeAF can provide advice or briefings for any local authority that may wish to find out more about potential involvement in the siting process. To do so please contact NuLeAF at geological.disposal@nuleaf.org.uk
We have also established a section of this website dedicated to information about the siting process. To access it click on the GEOLOGICAL DISPOSAL box at the bottom of the left hand list of pages.
