Frequently asked questions Why is a sea lice framework needed? Populations of wild Atlantic salmon have been in serious decline in recent decades and are now at crisis point. The pattern of decline is repeated across the salmon’s North Atlantic range and is likely caused, at least in part, by the effect of climate change on the survival of salmon during their time at sea. To build resilience of Sc

Page icon 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).

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

Page icon Invasive non-native species

What are invasive non-native species? Non-native species (NNS) are plants and animals which have been introduced (accidentally or deliberately) outside of their native range through human activity. Many non-native species contribute positively to our lives, as livestock, crops, timber, garden plants or pets. However, a small proportion (10-15%) of non-native species spread rapidly and cause damage
