Abstract
Everyone associated with the nuclear industry will know that the provision of a deep repository has receded by at least several decades. The question now is: How does the nuclear industry engineer a suitable storage regime for the foreseeable future?'. This paper explores some of the engineering considerations that Nuclear Installations Inspectorate specialist inspectors need to address when considering the safety case for a long-term radioactive materials store. Any licensee contemplating building a store should already know of such items. Integrity of waste form, storage container, handling equipment and store structure are addressed. Licensee's knowledge management is also considered.
