The site selection process for the National Radioactive Waste Management Facility has involved voluntary nomination, public and community consultation and technical assessments over 7 years. More than 40 sites across Australia were volunteered.
The National Radioactive Waste Management Facility Taskforce led this process in line with the National Radioactive Waste Management Act 2012.
The Australian Radioactive Waste Agency (ARWA) is continuing this process.
