The Environment Agency has published new guidance on the requirements for authorisation for prospective developers of radioactive waste disposal facilities. Both guidance documents apply the same principles and (largely) the same detailed requirements. We expect developers or operators to interpret the requirements in a way that is proportionate to the hazard presented by the waste disposed of to the facility. Our guidance sets high standards to help us and industry protect people’s health and deliver the best outcome for the environment.
