COMMISSION OPINION

of 7 September 2018

relating to the plan for the disposal of radioactive waste arising from the Sellafield Box Encapsulation Plant Product Store 1 and associated Direct Import Facility located in the United Kingdom

(Only the English version is authentic)

(2018/C 321/01)

The assessment below is carried out under the provisions of the Euratom Treaty, without prejudice to any additional assessments to be carried out under the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and the obligations stemming from it and from secondary legislation (1).

On 10 April 2018 the European Commission received from the Government of the United Kingdom, in accordance with Article 37 of the Euratom Treaty, General Data relating to the plan for the disposal of radioactive waste (2) arising from the Sellafield Box Encapsulation Plant Product Store 1 and associated Direct Import Facility.

On the basis of these data and following consultation with the Group of Experts, the Commission has drawn up the following opinion:

| 1. | The distance from the site to the nearest border of another Member State, in this case Ireland is 180 km. |
| --- | --- |

1.

The distance from the site to the nearest border of another Member State, in this case Ireland is 180 km.

| 2. | Under normal operating conditions, the discharge of gaseous and liquid radioactive effluents is not liable to cause an exposure of the population of another Member State that would be significant from the point of view of health, in respect of the dose limits laid down in the Basic Safety Standards Directive (3). |
| --- | --- |

2.

Under normal operating conditions, the discharge of gaseous and liquid radioactive effluents is not liable to cause an exposure of the population of another Member State that would be significant from the point of view of health, in respect of the dose limits laid down in the Basic Safety Standards Directive (3).

| 3. | Secondary solid radioactive waste will be transferred to on-site treatment and conditioning facilities. Conditioned low-level radioactive waste will be shipped to the nearby licensed disposal facility located at Drigg. |
| --- | --- |

3.

Secondary solid radioactive waste will be transferred to on-site treatment and conditioning facilities. Conditioned low-level radioactive waste will be shipped to the nearby licensed disposal facility located at Drigg.

| 4. | In the event of unplanned releases of radioactive effluents, which may follow the accident of the type and magnitude considered in the General Data, the doses likely to be received by the population of another Member State would not be significant from the point of view of health, in respect of the reference levels laid down in the Basic Safety Standards Directive. |
| --- | --- |

4.

In the event of unplanned releases of radioactive effluents, which may follow the accident of the type and magnitude considered in the General Data, the doses likely to be received by the population of another Member State would not be significant from the point of view of health, in respect of the reference levels laid down in the Basic Safety Standards Directive.

In conclusion, the Commission is of the opinion that the implementation of the plan for the disposal of radioactive waste in whatever form, arising from the Sellafield Box Encapsulation Plant Product Store 1 and associated Direct Import Facility, located in the United Kingdom, both in normal operation and in the event of the accident of the type and magnitude considered in the General Data, is not liable to result in a radioactive contamination, significant from the point of view of health, of the water, soil or airspace of another Member State, in respect of the provisions laid down in the Basic Safety Standards Directive.

Done at Brussels, 7 September 2018.
