Rosyth Royal Dockyard Limited - variation application
Overview
It's part of our 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 gaseous and aqueous radioactive waste which may be disposed of to the environment.
Rosyth Royal Dockyard Limited (RRDL) are decommissioning the laid-up submarines (LUSMs) that are held at the Rosyth Business Park in accordance with their radioactive substances permit. This consultation has been issued in response to an application from RRDL to vary this permit.
If you wish to review the RRDL application and supporting documents and provide comments for us to consider as part of our determination process, please complete the consultation.
As part of this application we have concluded that there are no actions required in relation to The Transboundary Radioactive Contamination (Scotland) Direction 2021. This direction effectively replaces what would have been required under Article 37 of the EURATOM Treaty that would have been required prior to Brexit.
