This dataset is static as of April 2010. The data is no longer updated. The data has been superceded by a new dataset, the metadata for which can be found here: https://www.data.gov.uk/dataset/f031cf17-db5b-472c-ae50-dbb4d5c0e8e6/radioactive-substances-permits-corporate-entities This record is for Approval for Access product AfA027. The Radioactive Substances Act 1993 (RSA 93) regulates the keeping and use of radioactive materials, and the disposal and accumulation of radioactive waste. Any person who keeps or uses radioactive material must either be registered or subject to an exemption. In addition to registration of premises, special provisions are made for mobile radioactive apparatus. Such equipment must be registered wherever it is kept, used, lent or hired, unless covered by an exemption. Any person who disposes of radioactive waste (or accumulates such waste for disposal) must either be authorised or subject to an exemption. The Environment Agency regulates these registrations and authorisations. The Radioactive Substances Register data is provided in 3 tables: Active_RAS_Auths contains details of active authorisations, Active_RAS_Regs contains active registrations All_RAS_Auths_and_Regs contains details of all authorisation and registration applications, as well as effective, altered and revoked permissions. The 'Active' tables are subsets of the 'All' table. Attribution statement: © Environment Agency copyright and/or database right 2015. All rights reserved.
