Radiological impact assessments

Operators that discharge radioactive waste into the atmosphere or aquatic environment must assess the potential environmental impact. Supanova perform initial radiological impact assessments (RIA) using the Environment Agency’s IRAT (Initial Radiological Assessment Tool) to evaluate radiation doses to the public. The initial assessments support permit applications, variations, and environmental risk evaluations, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements and demonstrating that radiation exposures remain within acceptable limits.
