PUBLIC exhibitions are being held to outline proposals to build an extra storage site for radioactive material at the Harwell Science Centre, near Didcot.

The plan to provide storage for intermediate level radioactive material has been put forward by Research Sites Restoration.

The company is responsible for cleaning up former nuclear sites on behalf of the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority.

The first exhibition will be held at the Harwell Innovation Centre, in Curie Avenue, tomorrow, from 3pm to 8pm. There will also be an exhibition on Friday at Snells Hall, in Church Street, East Hendred, from 3pm to 8pm. A third exhibition will take place on Saturday at Harwell village hall from 10am to 2pm, and a fourth at Chilton village hall next Wednesday, from 4pm to 8pm.
