Radioactivity

Planning and Environmental Policy Group (PEPG) is responsible for legislation in relation to radioactivity including radioactive contaminated land, high activity sealed sources (HASS) and the transport of radioactive material by road.

PEPG also co-operates with UK Government Departments in relation to policy on the management of solid low level radioactive waste and the Managing Radioactive Waste Safely programme. In the future, PEPG will also contribute to the review of the UK’s Radioactive Discharges Strategy and the transposition of the Radioactive Waste Shipments Directive.
