Details

The Environment Agency has developed this notification and intervention plan with other organisations involved in protecting the public from radioactive objects. This plan explains how the different organisations will work together to:

  • protect the public and environment from any harm caused by radioactive objects on west Cumbria beaches

  • respond to a discovery of radioactive objects near the Sellafield site – a significantly unusual single find, or a significant overall change in the find rate, activity or trends

  • check that the conclusions of a public health risk assessment for the radioactive objects remain valid
