Information released
We confirm that under s.1 of the FOIA, we do hold the information relevant to your request, however as the information is already reasonably accessible to you by other means, we have applied s.21 and have provided you with the relevant links below to where the information can be found.
Question 1
We have identified one letter which references this text during the period you have requested. You can find a copy on our website.
Question 2
The requirement for operators to prepare Consequences Reports was introduced when the Radiation (Emergency Preparedness and Public Information) Regulations 2019 came into force in 2019.
The concept of Consequences Reports did not exist in the legislation it replaced (the Radiation (Emergency Preparedness and Public Information) Regulations 2001). As such, only one Consequences Report has been prepared by the operator since 2001 (Issue 1, November 2019) and this can be found on the Local Authority’s website via the below link:
