Parts of this work were commissioned jointly by the UK Department of the Environment and the Commission of the European Communities as part of their Radioactive Waste Management Research Programmes. The results may be used in the formulation of UK Government policy but at this stage they do not necessarily represent such policy. The work is described in more detail elsewhere3.
