Abstract
ABSTRACTIn 1985 the House of Commons Environment Committee expressed reservations over some of the waste‐management procedures followed by British Nuclear Fuels Ltd at their Drigg low‐level radioactive waste disposal facility near Sellafield in Cumbria. These reservations prompted the company to implement a £20 million programme of improvements aimed at maximizing site usage, reducing trench leachate arisings and redirecting to the Irish Sea.This paper provides information and test results associated with design considerations and initial dilution testing, respectively, of a computercontrolled long sea outfall system designed to discharge leachate to the Irish Sea. Information is also provided on difficulties experienced during construction of the outfall.
