This guidance applies to all authorised places that are not nuclear sites as defined in paragraph 4, Schedule 8 of EASR and is relevant throughout the lifetime of the authorised place, but is particularly relevant when an authorised person is decommissioning with a view to surrendering or partially surrendering their permit entirely or reducing the footprint of the authorised place (for example removing a single laboratory without a permit variation) from use with radioactive substances activities. It outlines the actions that need to be taken so that the environment affected by the authorised activity is restored to a satisfactory state as required by the Environmental Authorisations (Scotland) Regulations (EASR) 2018.
