## Notice

UK environment agencies regulate the discharge of radioactive waste to the environment using permits issued under the Environmental Permitting Regulations (EPR-16). Organisations making discharge of radioactive waste must apply to the environment agencies for a permit. As part of the permit application, the applicant is required to make a radiological assessment of the impact of the discharges to human and ecosystem receptors. As part of the permit determination, environment agencies' officers will review, and in some cases further assess, to confirm the findings of the radiological assessment and under the working level agreements will ask the FSA to carry out a food chain assessment.
