Explanatory note

These regulations, made by the Minister of Power and the Secretary of State for Scotland, acting jointly, amend the Nuclear Installations (Insurance Certificate) Regulations 1965, which prescribe for the purposes of Section 21(3) of the Nuclear Installations Act 1965 the particulars to be contained in the certificate required when nuclear matter is to be carried in such circumstances that liability may be incurred by the operator of a nuclear installation either under the Act or under corresponding foreign law.

They remove the requirement for the certificate to contain particulars of the total number and identifying marks of the packages of nuclear matter.
