If the licensing authority is at a particular time of the opinion that circumstances exist which would have persuaded it, had it foreseen them (and possessed the scientific knowledge possessed by it at that particular time) at the time when it was considering whether to grant the irradiation licence, to refuse to grant it, it may give notice to the licensee—

(a)

specifying the circumstances which it considers exist, and

(b)

informing the licensee that, unless he satisfies it within a period specified in the notice (not being less than twenty-eight days) that those circumstances either do not exist or should not have had the persuasive effect specified above, the licence will be withdrawn.
