The work of occupational health physicians is highly rated by organisations, but small and medium-sized businesses have little or no access to their support, according to a new HSE report.
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.
