Text Box: Embargo until 30 March Text Box: CoRWM Review paper Text Box: CoRWM Peer Reviews Large & Associates turns down CoRWM Peer Review Work   Following prequalification tendering, the National Nuclear Corporation nominated Large & Associates suitable to undertake peer review work of the radioactive waste management tasks set by the Committee on Radioactive Waste Management (CoRWM).  However, in account of recent events at CoRWM Large & Associates determined that it did not wish to sully its good name and turned down the offer with the following e-mail:   Subj: CoRWM Peer Reviews  Date: 14/03/2005 17:28:37 GMT Standard Time From: Largeassociates To: ashok.gandhi@solutions-NNC.co.uk                    Ash                Further to our telephone conversation of today, once again thanks for offering to me the              peer reviewing of the CoRWM deep disposal tasks.                As we discussed, I do not now believe it appropriate for me to undertake this work.                 To reiterate, recent CoRWM actions (particularly the reported forced and voluntary              suspensions of two committee members and the somewhat ambivalent CoRWM response              to the House of Lords Science & Technology report and debate) have not consolidated my              confidence that CoRWM's approach in determining the UK future radwaste management              policy has been and continues to be entirely appropriate and competent.                Put another way, I really don't want to have my name associated with what seems              to be developing into an utter shambles. I am sorry to disappoint you on this but if my              interpretation of CoRWM's position changes then I will let you know.   Date: 14 March 2005 - No Embargo Further information from John Large  44 (0) 20 8317 2860   44 (0)7971 088086 - links to further information highlighted thus.
