- and others
Her Majesty`s Inspectorate of Pollution (HMIP) has responsibility for authorizing radioactive waste discharges from nuclear power plants in England and Wales, under the Radioactive Substances Act 1993. Regulatory control is achieved by attaching limits and conditions to discharge authorizations. These are set in accordance with general radiological protection principles, but also take into account site-specific factors. Authorizations are regularly reviewed. When such a review leads to a requirement to revise an authorization, the process of revision entails a stage of public consultation.
