The NDA has confirmed that the IAEA safeguards regime for radioactive materials/substances and radioactive waste and also, the provisions of the Euratom Treaty and subsidiary legislation does apply to radioactive wastes and substances/materials originating from UK defence activities managed, stored or disposed by the NDA or its contractors. I must admit I was somewhat surprised at the response.
Transcript of my email to the NDA and their response
FoI Request to the NDA dated January 8 2009
Dear JH
Thank you for your reply but correct me if I am wrong, but I do not recall you replying yes or no to this question bearing in mind the reference I made UK defence activities
"So am I correct that your reply means that the IAEA safeguards regime for radioactive materials/substances and radioactive waste and also, the provisions of the Euratom Treaty and subsidiary legislation will apply to radioactive wastes and substances/materials originating from UK defence activities managed, stored or disposed by the NDA or its contractors."
