ISLE OF MAN LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD FURTHER REPORT TO TYNWALD BRITISH NUCLEAR FUELS PLC - SELLAFIELD OPERATIONS 1 INTRODUCTION In December 1984, the Isle of Man Local Government Board presented a report to Tynwald on operations at Sellafield (1). In the light of its findings, the Board presented a number of conclusions and proposals, and at a sitting on the 11 December 1984 (2), Tynwald accepted the recommendations that:- " …..arising from Tynwald's consideration of this report, the United Kingdom Government should again be advised of the serious concern in the Isle of Man regarding radioactive discharges to the Irish Sea and Its environs and should be pressed:- (1) to undertake additional measures, over and above those already announced to further reduce discharges to the Irish Sea; (2) to give a commitment to reduce discharges to the Irish Sea to zero within a given time scale, such time scale to be the shortest possible period In which a zero discharge could be achieved and, In any event, to be not longer than two years; (3) as an interim measure, and In addition to the physical reduction of discharges, to introduce an early and significant downward revision in the quantities of radioactivity specified In the authorisations for discharges to the Irish Sea; (4) following the recommendations made after the November 1983, incident, to include in such a revised authorisation, short-term limits for high activity particulate waste and limits for solvents, as wet I as quantitative limits for each radionuclide discharged; (5) to introduce, In relation to gaseous discharges from Sellafleld, a revised authorisation incorporating quantitative limits for each radionuclide discharged; (6) to confirm that the Isle of Man Government will be consulted prior to the Issue of any revised authorisations; (7) to continue studies Into the cumulative and long term effects of discharges; (8) to secure that, wherever possible, the transport of radioactive material to or from Sellafield Is carried out by road and rail rather than by transport through the Irish Sea; (9) to ensure the full and adequate supervision of all developments at Sellafield and the thorough monitoring of work practices and safety standards.
