COMMISSION OPINION

of 30 January 2002

concerning the plan for the disposal of radioactive waste from the Sizewell A Power Station
located in the United Kingdom, in accordance with Article 37 of the Euratom Treaty

(2002/C 32/09)

(only the English text is authentic)

On 30 July 2001, 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 from the Sizewell A Power Station.

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

(a) The distance between the plant and the nearest neighbour Member State,

in this case France,

is

approximately 135 km.

(b) Under normal operating conditions, taking into account the new foreseen discharge authorisation, the
discharges of liquid and gaseous effluents are not liable to cause an exposure, significant from the
point of view of health, of the population in other Member States.

(c) Solid intermediate level radioactive wastes are stored at the site. Low level radioacitve wastes and
irradiated fuel elements are stored at the site before being transported off-site for disposal, respectively
reprocessing, in facilities within the United Kingdom.

(d) In the event of unplanned discharges of radioactive waste, which may follow an accident of the type
and magnitude considered in the general data, the doses likely to be received by the population in
other Member States would not be significant from the point of view of health.

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 Sizewell A Power Station in the United Kingdom, both
in normal operation and in the event of an accident of the type and magnitude considered in the general
data, is not liable to result in radioactive contamination, significant from the point of view of health, of the
water, soil or airspace of another Member State.

provisions of the Member States relating to restrictions on the marketing and use of certain dangerous
substances and preparations (asbestos) (1), the Commission has taken the decision to ban all forms of
asbestos fibres in the Community, including chrysotile (also called white asbestos), in order to protect
human health from exposure to these substances. From the scientific knowledge available, all forms of
asbestos have been recognised as proven human carcinogens by numerous scientific bodies. Most of the
Member States have already prohibited asbestos.

In conformity with the tenth recital of Directive 1999/77/EC, the Commission will ask the Scientific
Committee on Toxicity, Ecotoxicity and the Environment (SCTEE) to undertake a further review of any
relevant new scientific data from 1999 on the health risks of chrysotile asbestos and its substitutes,
including the studies mentioned by the Honourable Members. On that occasion, the Commission will also
draw to the attention of that Committee the purported release of white asbestos resulting from the collapse
of the World Trade Center of 11 September 2001 and if, in the light of the mandate to be submitted, any
further information is considered necessary by the Committee, arrangements can be made to provide it, if
available.
