AWE Burghfield and Aldermaston shortlisted as nuclear submarine waste dumps
The Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE) sites in Aldermaston and Burghfield have today (Thursday) been listed by the MOD among potential sites to store waste from decommissioned nuclear submarines for the next 26 years – with a public consultation to take place later this year on this.

These include: both AWE sites at Aldermaston and Burghfield, owned by the MOD and run by AWE Plc; Sellafield in West Cumbria, owned by the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA); Chapelcross in Dumfriesshire, also owned by the NDA; and Capenhurst in Cheshire, which is run by Capenhurst Nuclear Services.
