	uin	290607
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/10/2019 answer text <p>The Environment Agency (EA) has been discussing with Magnox Ltd its intention to treat intermediate level waste (ILW) at the Berkeley Site, and at Hinkley Point A, by encapsulating it in concrete boxes. This is to make the waste safe for long term storage, and enable its subsequent disposal.</p><p>The need to apply for increased tritium limits arises from the heat generated during the encapsulation process driving off some of the tritium within the waste. Magnox Ltd anticipates that this may increase discharges of gaseous tritium above the low limit specified in Berkeley’s current environmental permit. While Magnox plans to apply to the EA to change this limit, the EA has not yet received any application from Magnox to increase the limit for gaseous tritium for this purpose.</p><p>The EA will only change the permit limit if it is satisfied that this is necessary and that people and the environment remain properly protected.</p><p>The EA will continue to keep local stakeholders informed of any developments with the Berkeley Site environmental permit, through the local Stakeholder Group.</p> answering member constituency Taunton Deane answering member printed Rebecca Pow question first answered 04/10/2019 13:59:41 answering member 4522 label Biography information for Rebecca Pow

The work is being facilitated by a range of stakeholders, including farmer groups, representative bodies and non-governmental organisations, and covers a range of geographies and sectors. 46 proposals are currently being taken forward in phase 1 and we anticipate that a number of these will begin soon with Defra reimbursing agreed costs incurred in their delivery. We have received a further 200 proposals for phase 2. We will prioritise those proposals from phase 2 that fill gaps identified from the coverage of phase 1 proposals. We will communicate the results of our analysis of the phase 2 proposals to stakeholders later this month.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 08/10/2019 13:15:07 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice attachment 1 file name Phase 1 proposals.xlsx title Phase 1 proposals table
