Environment
Our primary goal is to protect people and the environment and we work hard to minimise the environmental impact of our operations.
We engage with our stakeholders and seek approval of our environmental management by listening to and addressing the concerns that people have.
Our regulator, the Environment Agency (EA in England and Wales) and the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency (SEPA in Scotland), monitors compliance with the authorisations in place. We work hard with the regulator to ensure the highest standards of environmental protection.
The Nuclear Sector Plan sets out the Environment Agency’s plan for the nuclear industry in England and Wales. The purpose of the Plan is to promote continuous improvement of the industry’s performance in order to deliver environmental benefits that include, but extend beyond, those that can be achieved by regulatory compliance alone.
