It serves as a waste management strategy for non-radioactive waste which will be produced during the construction phases, operational phases and where relevant, the removal and reinstatement phases for the various elements of the Development. This strategy only considers the management of non-radioactive waste streams. It does not relate to spent fuel or radioactive waste which should arise during the operation and decommissioning of Sizewell C (SZC).
