We are responsible for regulating the keeping and use of radioactive substances and the accumulation and disposal of radioactive wastes.
These pages describe the development of the UK strategy for managing wastes containing naturally occurring radioactive material (NORM).
Naturally occurring radioactive materials exist in the earth’s crust as a result of the decay of heavy elements produced by cosmic processes. In their natural state they are not considered waste. NORM waste is produced when activities including mining and the processing of minerals and contaminated earth concentrate NORM. It is also produced as a result of maintenance and decommissioning of equipm
Emergency response planning
In the event of an incident involving the release of radioactivity to the environment, it’s our role to assess the impacts of the incident and advise on clean-up.

Radioactive substances
Radioactive substances are used routinely in Scotland for medical diagnosis and treatment, research, energy generation and industrial processes. However, if they are not managed properly they can potentially cause contamination of the environment and impacts on human health.
A key part of our work is to ensure that radiation doses from all man-made radioactive substances in food and the environmen
