Guidance on the Shipment of Wastes which contain Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material (NORM) (link)
This guidance sets out the regulatory controls and associated policy framework that apply to the import and export of wastes which contain NORM (naturally occurring radioactive material). It builds upon the statements in the UK NORM Waste Strategy and has been produced with the aim of clarifying the regulatory framework. It applies to all NORM wastes arising from “NORM industrial activities” and includes specific guidance for the offshore industry in Annex 2.
Whilst this document is SEPA guidance and is applicable to Scotland only, other relevant UK authorities have been consulted during its preparation. Therefore, the key points should be applicable across the UK. However, for shipments of NORM waste to or from parts of the UK other than Scotland, it is recommended that the relevant regulatory authority is contacted to confirm their specific requirements.
