Radioactivity from Bradwell nuclear power station challenges the Blackwater MCZ
We provide here the text of the submission made by Marinet, 18th September 2015, to the Environment Agency concerning a permit application by Magnox Limited to be granted an extended licence to discharge waste radioactivity into the Blackwater estuary (Blackwater, Colne, Roach and Crouch Estuaries Marine Conservation Zone) which arises from the dissolution treatment process (dissolving in nitric acid) of fuel element debris (FED) which is still present on site and whose removal is required as part of the nuclear plant’s decommissioning.
