Abstract

These Regulations are made pursuant to the powers under Part 2A of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and make provision in Wales for Part 2A to have effect with modifications for the purpose of the identification and remediation of radioactive contaminated land other than in circumstances where the operator of a nuclear installation is liable under the Nuclear Installations Act 1965, or in related circumstances. The Regulations also carry into effect Articles 48 and 53 of Council Directive 1996/29/Euratom laying down basic safety standards for the protection of the health of workers and the general public against the dangers arising from ionizing radiation and ensure that the powers of the Environment Agency or local authority under section 108 of the Environment Act 1995 extend to their functions under Part 2A of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 as it applies to harm attributable to radioactivity.
