Interpretation U.K.

2.  In these Regulations—

(b)

in Scotland, the Scottish Environment Protection Agency;

(c)

in Wales, the Natural Resources Body for Wales;

(d)

“holder” means any person who, before carrying out a shipment of radioactive waste or spent fuel, is responsible under the applicable national law for such materials and plans to carry out a shipment to a consignee;

“radioactive waste” means radioactive material in gaseous, liquid or solid form for which no further use is foreseen by the countries of origin and destination, or by a person whose decision is accepted by those countries, and which is controlled as radioactive waste by a regulatory body under the legislative and regulatory framework of each of those countries;

“reprocessing” means a process or operation, the purpose of which is to extract radioactive isotopes from spent fuel for further use;

“shipment” means the whole of operations involved in moving radioactive waste or spent fuel from a country of origin to a country of destination and “ship” must be construed in accordance with this definition;

“spent fuel” means nuclear fuel that has been irradiated in and permanently removed from a reactor core; spent fuel may either be considered as a usable resource that can be reprocessed or be destined for final disposal with no further use foreseen and treated as radioactive waste; and

Application U.K.

3.—(1)  [F2 Subject to paragraph (1A),] these Regulations apply to transfrontier shipments of radioactive waste or spent fuel if both the quantity and the concentration of a consignment exceed the levels laid down in Table B of Annex VII of Council Directive 2013/59/Euratom M2 (the “Basic Safety Standards Directive 2013”).

[F3 (1A) Where regulation 4(6), 4(7) or 4(8) applies in relation to a shipment, the references in this regulation to the Basic Safety Standards Directive 2013 are to be construed as references to that Directive as amended from time to time.]

(2) [F4 These Regulations] do not apply to—

(a) a shipment of disused sources to a supplier or manufacturer of radioactive sources or to a recognised installation;

(b) a shipment of radioactive materials recovered for further use through reprocessing; or

(c) a shipment of waste that contains only naturally occurring radioactive material that does not arise from practices.

(3) In this regulation—

“disused source” means a sealed source which is no longer used or intended to be used for the practice for which authorisation was granted;

“practice” means a human activity that can increase the exposure of individuals to radiation from an artificial source, or from a natural radiation source where natural radionuclides are processed for their radioactive, fissile or fertile properties, except in the case of an emergency exposure;

“recognised installation” means a facility located in the territory of a country which is either:

(a)

authorised by the competent authorities of that country in accordance with its national law for the long-term storage or disposal of sealed sources; or

(b)

an installation duly authorised under its national law for the interim storage of sealed sources; and

“sealed source” has the meaning given to it in Article 4(90) of the Basic Safety Standards Directive 2013.

Issue of authorisations [F23 or consents] for shipments of radioactive waste U.K.

11.—(1) A competent authority must not authorise [F24 or consent to] a shipment of radioactive waste unless this regulation is complied with.

(2) An applicant must make a written assessment of all practicable options for management of the radioactive waste.

(3) In the case of low-level waste, the proposed shipment must be for—

(a) the recovery of re-usable materials;

(b) treatment to make its subsequent storage and disposal more manageable;

(c) sending samples for investigative analysis; or

(d) the return to the country of origin of radioactive waste resulting from the processing of radioactive waste or spent fuel in another country (or an equivalent amount of other radioactive waste by way of substitute).

(4) In the case of intermediate-level or high-level waste, the proposed shipment must be for—

(a) the recovery of re-usable materials, where this is the genuine prime purpose;

(b) treatment to make its subsequent storage and disposal more manageable, in cases—

(i) where the processes are at a developmental stage; or

(ii) which involve quantities that are too small for the process to be practicable in the country of origin;

(c) sending samples for investigative analysis; or

(d) the return to the country of origin of radioactive waste resulting from the processing of radioactive waste or spent fuel in another country (or an equivalent amount of other radioactive waste by way of substitute).

(5) If the processes at paragraphs (3) and (4) would add materially to the radioactive waste needing to be disposed of in the country of destination, the applicant must demonstrate that the waste will be returned to the country of origin, to a timescale agreed by the competent authorities in the [F25 United Kingdom and in the] countries of origin and destination.

(6) Notwithstanding paragraphs (3), (4) and (5), radioactive waste may be imported for treatment and disposal in the United Kingdom—

(a) if it is in the form of spent or disused sealed sources that were manufactured in the United Kingdom; or

(b) if it arises from small users, such as hospitals, situated in—

(i) countries that produce such small quantities of radioactive waste that the provision of their own specialised installations would be impractical, or

(ii) countries that cannot reasonably be expected to acquire suitable disposal facilities.

(7) Notwithstanding paragraphs (2) to (6), radioactive waste arising from the reprocessing of spent fuel may be returned to its country of origin.

(8) In this regulation—

“low-level waste” means radioactive waste having a radioactive content not exceeding four gigabecquerels per tonne (GBq/te) of alpha activity or twelve GBq/te of beta or gamma activity;

“intermediate level waste” means radioactive waste with radioactivity levels exceeding the upper boundaries for low-level waste, but which does not require the heat generated from the waste to be taken into account in the design of storage or disposal facilities; and

“high level waste” means radioactive waste in which the temperature may rise significantly as a result of its radioactivity, so that this factor has to be taken into account in designing storage or disposal facilities.

(3) In the case of radioactive waste or spent fuel that has been brought into the United Kingdom, the person holding the authorisation granted under these Regulations [F27 (or the person having responsibility for a shipment that has not been authorised)] must either return the consignment to the country of origin if instructed to do so by the competent authority, taking corrective safety measures if necessary, or otherwise dispose of it as instructed by the competent authority and failure to comply with an instruction of the competent authority is an offence.

(4) In the case of radioactive waste or spent fuel that is being or has been shipped from the United Kingdom—

(a) unless alternative safe arrangements can be made, the competent authority must serve a notice on the person holding the authorisation requiring the authorised person to take the shipment back, and
