Transfrontier Shipments of Radioactive Substances

From 1st January 2021 The Shipments of Radioactive Substance (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 will apply and will revoke EC Regulation (EURATOM) No 1493/93. New declarations for import to the UK from EU of sealed sources from 1st January 2021 will need to be made on a new form under these regulations. The new form can be found on the UK Government website.

Consents issued for imports from the EU into the UK prior to 31st December 2020 will continue to be valid until their specified expiry date. There are no requirements under these regulations to make a prior written declaration when shipping sealed radioactive sources from the UK to the EU. However, UK exporters to the EU should seek guidance from the European Commission and EU countries on any requirements they must comply with before shipping.

Transfrontier Shipments of Radioactive Waste and Spent Fuel

From 1st January 2021 The Transfrontier Shipment of Radioactive Waste and Spent Fuel (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 will apply and will revoke The Transfrontier Shipment of Radioactive Waste and Spent Fuel Regulations 2008. Authorisations for shipments with or via the EU will cease to be valid from 1 January 2021. Applications for shipments from 1st January 2021 will need to be made on new forms under these regulations. The new forms can be found on the UK Government website.

You may also need to consider whether you have any obligations under the Transfrontier shipment of waste regulations.
