Regulation 22 ImportsI1
United Kingdom
An operator must give advance notification to the ONR if any qualifying nuclear material is imported into the United Kingdom—
where the consignment exceeds one effective kilogram; or
where a qualifying nuclear facility imports or receives a total quantity of qualifying nuclear material from the same State that could exceed one effective kilogram in any consecutive period of twelve months, even though no single consignment exceeds one effective kilogram.
Subject to paragraph (3), an operator must—
provide the notification to the ONR as far in advance as possible of the expected arrival of the qualifying nuclear material in the United Kingdom and, at the latest, on the date of receipt by the operator and ensure that the notification is received by the ONR at least F17 days before the day on which the qualifying nuclear material is unpacked; and
use the form set out in Part 6 of Schedule 1.
If so required for reasons of physical protection, special arrangements concerning the form and transmission of the notification may be agreed between an operator and the ONR.
This regulation does not apply to ores nor to waste.
