After more than 40 years of repetitive research, design, consultation and planning we are still no closer to having the necessary disposal facility for intermediate and high-level nuclear waste.

The committee might do better to investigate why, over four decades, there has been a repeated refusal of planning consent for a final disposal facility for such waste.

With a 70% voter turnout there was about 90% approval for hosting of the disposal facility.

The facility operated as a hazardous waste generator and land disposal facility.

The site later became an illegal industrial waste storage and disposal facility, and operated until 1978.
