This review was carried out by RSK STATS Limited on behalf of the Environment Agency under the terms of an agreement with the EA Nuclear Decommissioning Authority鈥檚 Radioactive Waste Management Directorate (RWMD).

It provides the contractor鈥檚 view of RWMD鈥檚 generic work on the application of geophysical surveying techniques to characterise candidate sites for a geological disposal facility (GDF).

It includes a summary of the capabilities and limitations of relevant geophysical surveying techniques, and a critical review of RWMD鈥檚 strategy for applying these techniques in its Geosphere Characterisation Project (GCP).
