Nuclear Restoration Services (NRS) Hunterston A site aqueous discharges variation application
Overview
It is part of SEPA’s remit to regulate the disposal of radioactive substances within Scotland, we do this through the issuing of permits. These permits regulate the quantity and activity of aqueous waste which may be disposed of by the site to the environment as well as the minimum flow during discharge and the tidal window.
Nuclear Restoration Services (NRS) formerly Magnox Ltd are in the process of decommissioning the Hunterston A Nuclear site in accordance with a radioactive substances permit. This consultation has been issued in response to an application from NRS to vary this permit.
If you wish to review the Nuclear Restoration Services Hunterston A application and supporting documents and provide comments for SEPA to consider as part of our process to determine if we will grant the variation, please submit them to us by by 22 April 2025.
