Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials (NORM)
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).

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

Information regarding aquaculture and its importance to Scotland's economy.
Aquaculture is defined as the rearing of aquatic animals or the cultivation of aquatic plants in both seawater and freshwater for food and can take many forms.
In Scotland, aquaculture is dominated by the production of fish – predominantly salmon, trout, cod and halibut, and shellfish such as mussels, oysters and scallops – but there are other important sectors as well.
Aquaculture contributes to

An overview of how SEPA takes account of biodiversity when making regulatory decisions.
Protecting habitats, species and Scotland’s ecosystem services is an integral part of SEPA’s regulatory remit. All our regulatory decisions should take account of potential effects on biodiversity and opportunities for biodiversity enhancement. We are responsible for setting standards in environmental licences that protect and help improve the state of water, land and air and the services that eco

Flood maps
Our flood maps are designed to help you understand how you could be affected by flooding. The maps show you areas which are likely to flood from rivers, the sea and surface water.
The flood maps are a public tool and used by a wide variety of people for a range of work.
We currently have two map viewers available. To determine which viewer will benefi
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.
You can report an incident involving radioactive material or radioactive waste by calling SEPA's 24 hour pollution hotline on 0800 807 060
The extent of our involvement in a radioactive incident depends on the nature and scale of the inc
