Streamline regulatory justification
Streamline regulatory justification
Propose legislation that would deem the grant of a planning permission, the completion of Stage 2 of the GDA, or the grant of a nuclear site licence for a nuclear installation to be a justified practice.
The Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs should issue a Regulation 12 determination that 'the use of ionising radiation for the generation of electricity from nuclear energy using uranium oxide fuel of low enrichment in fissile content in light water cooled, water moderated thermal reactors' is justified.
Given we are not persuaded that there is a legal impediment to this route, in the event this target is not met, Government should propose amending the regulations via primary legislation, deeming that light-water reactors are deemed to be justified.
