Calder Hall Nuclear Power Station Environmental Management Plan Issue 5
In August 2004, Sellafield Ltd applied to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) for consent
to decommission Calder Hall Nuclear Power Station in accordance with the Nuclear Reactors (Environmental Impact Assessment for Decommissioning) Regulations 1999. An Environmental Statement accompanied the application.
After a period of public consultation, the HSE duly granted consent in June 2005. Conditions were attached to the consent, primarily relating to the production and maintenance of an Environmental Management Plan covering the ongoing mitigation measures to prevent, reduce and if possible, offset any significant adverse environmental effects of the decommissioning work. The consent specifically requires the Environmental Management Plan to be re-issued annually or at intervals agreed with the HSE. This document is the fifth issue of the Calder Hall Environmental Management Plan, the first issue having been issued in September 2005. New information in Issue 5 covers the decommissioning undertaken to date and describes the effectiveness of the environmental mitigation measures for this work.
