Commission Opinion of 1 August 2007 concerning the plan for the disposal of radioactive waste arising from the modification of the liquid radioactive waste system at the Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant in Lithuania

COMMISSION OPINION

of 1 August 2007

concerning the plan for the disposal of radioactive waste arising from the modification of the liquid
radioactive waste system at the Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant in Lithuania

(Only the Lithuanian text is authentic)

(2007/C 180/02)

On 3 February 2006, the European Commission received from the Government of Lithuania, in accordance
with Article 37 of the Euratom Treaty, General Data relating to the plan for the disposal of radioactive waste
arising from the modification of the liquid radioactive waste system at the Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant.

On the basis of these data and the additional information requested by the Commission on 23 March 2006,
on 15 May 2006, on 17 October 2006, and on 22 February 2007, and provided by the Lithuanian authori-
ties on 7 September 2006 and on 13 April 2007, and following consultation with the Group of Experts,
the Commission has drawn up the following opinion:

1. The distance between the plant and the nearest point of another Member State, in this case Latvia, is

approximately 9 km.

2. During normal operation, the planned modification will not cause an exposure liable to affect the health

of the population in other Member States.

3. The planned modifications have no consequences in relation to the solid radioactive waste arising from

the operation of the existing plant.

4. In the event of unplanned releases of radioactive effluents, which may follow an accident of the type and
magnitude considered in the General Data, the planned modification will not give rise to doses in other
Member States, liable to affect the health of the population.

In conclusion, the Commission is of the opinion that the implementation of the plan for the disposal of
radioactive waste relating to the modification of the liquid radioactive waste system at the Ignalina Nuclear
Power Plant, 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 the radioactive contamination of the water, soil or airspace of
another Member State.

However, the Commission notes that a new discharge authorisation was granted on 1 January 2006 in
anticipation of the decommissioning of the Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant. Taking into consideration that the
decommissioning of the Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant will be subject to a specific submission of General
Data, the Commission recommends that in the mean time actual discharges of the Ignalina Nuclear Power
Plant should not exceed the limits set in the previous discharge authorisation.
Commission Opinion of 1 August 2007 concerning the plan for the disposal of radioactive waste arising from the operation of the Studsvik UK Metallic Recycling Facility located in Workington, Cumbria, United Kingdom

COMMISSION OPINION

of 1 August 2007

concerning the plan for the disposal of radioactive waste arising from the operation of the Studsvik
UK Metallic Recycling Facility located in Workington, Cumbria, United Kingdom

(Only the English text is authentic)

(2007/C 180/01)

On 15 January 2007, 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 arising from the operation of the Studsvik UK metallic recycling facility.

On the basis of these data and the additional information requested by the Commission and provided by the
UK authorities on 22 January 2007 and 4 April 2007, and following consultation with the Group of
Experts, the Commission has drawn up the following opinion:

1. The distance between the installation and the nearest point of another Member State, in this case Ireland,

is approximately 160 km.

2. Under normal operating conditions the discharges of liquid and gaseous effluents will not cause an expo-

sure liable to affect the health of the population in other Member States.

3. After processing, some of the material will be classified as LLW and some will be allocated for reuse or
recycling. The process will also give rise to some secondary LLW waste. The facility does not envisage to
process waste which cannot meet the Drigg Repository Conditions for Acceptance. Radioactive waste will
be released from the requirements of the Basic Safety Standards either after treatment in Sweden
(smelting) or directly if complying with criteria under the UK Substances of Low Activity Exemption
Order,
in all cases complying with the criteria laid down in the Basic Safety Standards (Directive
96/29/Euratom).

4. In the event of unplanned releases of radioactive effluents resulting from an accident of the type and
magnitude considered in the General Data, the doses received in other Member States would not be
liable to affect the health of the population.

In conclusion, the Commission is of the opinion that the plan for the disposal of radioactive waste, in
whatever form, arising from the operation of the Studsvik UK Metallic Recycling Facility located in
Workington, Cumbria, 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 the radioactive contamina-
tion of the water, soil or airspace of another Member State.
