Following an application by the licensee, Magnox Electric Limited, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has granted consent for a decommissioning project at Dungeness A power station in Kent.

HSE's decision follows extensive consultation and takes into account factors such as the adequacy of information provided by Magnox Electric, the conclusion that environmental benefits will far outweigh any detriments and the prediction there will be no significant effects on other countries.

As required by law, HSE has published a report describing the reasons and considerations behind its decision, the conditions attached to the consent and the measures Magnox Electric will take to control any significant environmental effects.

It also provides information on the legal framework for nuclear safety, in particular the regulations under which the consent was granted.

The report: The decision on the application to carry out a decommissioning project at Dungeness A power station under the Nuclear Reactors (Environmental Impact Assessment for Decommissioning) Regulations 1999: A report prepared by the Health and Safety Executive can be downloaded from the HSE website.

Alternatively, hard copies can be obtained from HSE Knowledge Centre.
