This report is the published product of one of a series of studies covering England, Wales and Northern
Ireland commissioned by Radioactive Waste Management (RWM) Ltd. The report provides geological
information about the East Anglia region to underpin the process of national geological screening set out in
the UK’s government White Paper Implementing geological disposal: a framework for the long-term
management of higher activity radioactive waste (DECC, 2014). The report describes geological features
relevant to the safety requirements of a geological disposal facility (GDF) for radioactive waste emplaced
onshore and up to 20 km offshore at depths between 200 and 1000 m from surface. It is written for a
technical audience but is intended to inform RWM in its discussions with communities interested in finding
out about the potential for their area to host a GDF
