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

SEPA has received an application from Magnox Electric Limited requesting variation of an existing authorisation granted under the Radioactive Substances Act 1993, as amended. The variation is requested to reflect the change of the operator at the low level waste repository near Drigg in Cumbria. As required by section 17 of the act, 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.
