| Abstract |
This report covers the first stage of work,which comprises a general review of the structure and of the principles behind the current UK regulatory arrangements. It focuses primarily on the regulation for nuclear safety and for environmental protection, taken in this context to include radiation doses to members of the public, at civil nuclear licensed sites, with only limited reference to other sites where radioactive materials are handled. However, it is the view of the two committees that many of the principles and recommendations discussed in the report should equally apply to the totality of operations with radioactive materials, including transport, in the UK. Contents: Foreword; Introduction; Form of the study and report; The legal basis for regulation; Regulatory principles; Current bases of UK regulatory policy and practice; Ongoing developments on which a common regulatory view will be needed; Discussion of findings; Recommendations; References; Annexes. |
