CLOSED : Magnox Electric Limited - request for Chapelcross variation to reflect the change of the operator at the low level waste repository near Drigg in Cumbria

Application for variation of authorisation


SEPA has received an application from Magnox Electric Limited requesting variation of two existing authorisations held by Chapelcross. The variations are required in order to reflect the change of operator at the low level waste repository near Drigg in Cumbria and storage of authorisation records. As required by section 17 of the Radioactive Substances Act 1993 (as amended), SEPA is consulting the Food Standards Agency and the Health and Safety Executive. A copy of the application is also being sent to the Scottish Government to allow Scottish Ministers to decide if they wish to exercise the powers provided by sections 23 and 24 of the Act. SEPA is also consulting with LLW Repository Limited.
