Nuclear waste consultation begins
Residents are being urged to make their views heard about plans for the disposal of radioactive waste at two nuclear weapons factories in Berkshire.
The sites in Aldermaston and Burghfield have been earmarked by The Atomic Weapons Establishment for disposing gaseous, liquefied and solid waste.
The consultation is aimed at gathering feedback on the conditions and limits to be imposed on the company.
The plans will be posted on the Environment Agency website from Monday.
They can also be viewed at local libraries around the two sites or at the agency's offices at Wallingford and Reading.
Both sites are the headquarters of Britain's nuclear development scheme.
