(b)the cleaning-up of a site to which this section applies, or of a related site,
includes the financial responsibility for the decommissioning or operation of the installation or facility, or for the cleaning-up.

(c)a wholly-owned subsidiary of the UKAEA;
(d)any other publicly owned company which was so owned on 4th July 2002; or

(3)Where—
(a)the NDA has financial responsibility for decommissioning, operating or cleaning up an installation, site or facility, and
(b)a person other than the NDA is the person with control of it,
that other person is not to be, or to be capable of becoming, liable to meet any of the costs of doing the things that are required to be secured by the NDA in the discharge of its responsibilities in relation to that installation, site or facility.
(4)Accordingly, where the NDA has the financial responsibility in the case of an installation, site or facility—
(a)it must not impose charges on the person with control of the installation, site or facility in respect of anything mentioned in subsection (3);

(6)It shall be the duty of the NDA for the purpose of discharging its financial responsibilities to make all such arrangements as it thinks fit for securing that the person with control of the installation, site or facility is able to meet, as they become due, all his liabilities to persons other than the NDA in respect of matters for which the NDA has financial responsibility or that those liabilities are otherwise discharged.
(7)It shall also be the duty of the NDA to make all such arrangements as it thinks fit for securing that amounts paid under this section to that person include such sums (if any) as the NDA considers it appropriate to pay by way of incentives to that person to discharge his duty to comply with directions under section 18 in the manner that the NDA thinks most effective.
