It should be recognised however, that it is not always feasible (economically, technically or environmentally) to follow this shategy. Other means and principles may be necessary to formulate local waste strategies such as the precautionary principle, tire proximity principle, life cycle analysis and the Best Practicable Environmental Option (BPEO), which all apply to decisions about waste management. The BPEO is the option that provides the most benefits or least damage to the environment as a whole, at an acceptable cost, in the long term as well as the short term.

The Environment Report (Reference 1.12).describes those elements of the APIOOO design that could directly impact a generic UK site. The Environment Report itself is supported by several technical reports, including the APIOOO Disposability Assessment - UKP-GW-GL-012 (Reference 1.13)andthe APIOOO Integrated Waste Strategy (Reference 1.14). Information from the Environment Report is used to imderpin those claims in the PCSR that refer to the management of environmental impact and radioactive waste disposal. 

The Environment Report (Reference 14.4) and Integrated Waste Strategy Report (Reference 14.7) set out radioactive waste management strategies and demonstrate the process chosen are the Best Available Technique (BAT). A brief summary of this BAT assessment is provided in this Pre-Construction Safety Report (PCSR) (Chapter 15). 

During the operational lifecycle of the APIOOO, solid radioactive wastes will be generated. Further details on the sources of solid radioactive wastes and the solid radwaste treatment system are provided in Section 3.5 of the Environment Report (Reference 14.4) and Integrated Waste Strategy (IWS) report (Reference 14.7). The solid waste streams comprise ... 

An Integrated Waste Strategy (IWS) has been produced for the generic APIOOO site. This IWS is presented in the UK APIOOO Integrated Waste Strategy (Reference 15.5) and the UK APIOOO Environment Report (Reference 15.6). The IWS includes both the higher-activity wastes (i.e., high and intermediate level) and low-level wastes.
