RWMAC report on MoD radioactive waste practices

9. OTHER MoD SITES

9.1 For completeness, it is worth noting that, in practice, there are a number of other MoD sites that give rise to radioactive wastes. Details of some of these sites recorded as giving rise to radioactive wastes in the 1998 UK Radioactive Waste Inventory⁴ are given in Annex 9. MoD hospitals are not included. Arisings at the sites recorded in the Inventory are relatively small.

9.2 With the exception of a number of MoD establishments visited as part of the earlier RWMAC study of MoD's arrangements for dealing with its radioactively contaminated land, these smaller sites have not been investigated in detail, although more general comments made earlier in this report (for example, concerning MoD's radioactive waste management strategy, and the need for accurate assessment of UK Radioactive Waste Inventory contributions) are taken to apply.
