Final Surrender of Radioactive Substances (Environmental) Permits on UK Nuclear Licensed Sites - 16646

This paper is split into three, linked, parts; each part explains work being taken forward by the United Kingdom (UK) Government and/or the nuclear site regulators to apply proportionate regulatory controls before, during and after nuclear site decommissioning and clean-up. Part I of the paper describes work led by UK Government to examine credible options for a step-wise removal of those safety, security and environmental protection regulations that apply to nuclear site decommissioning and clean-up. Any removal of regulations will have to take due account of and be proportionate to the residual risk following cessation of all clean-up works. Part II of the paper describes the approach used by the UK Environment Agencies to regulate final site clean-up of UK nuclear licensed sites. Ultimately, clean-up will result in nuclear sites being released from radioactive substances regulation. Part III of the paper links Parts I and II of the paper together by describing how the UK Environment Agencies will apply proportionate regulation to the clean-up of the 140-acre Dounreay site in Caithness which is the largest nuclear clean-up project in Scotland and the second largest in the UK, after Sellafield.
