I'm reassured that CEFAS, who carried out this assessment for NRW, are working to the highest international standard, and that's what reassures me.

I very much welcomed David Rowlands's comments that the committee sought to give priority to scientific evidence and to avoid alarmism and sensationalism, and he said that CEFAS, EDF and NRW are reassured, again, that the tests are carried out the very highest international standard. The evidence in the report shows that Natural Resources Wales have made their determination based on expert advice, in line with the radiological assessment procedure developed by the International Atomic Energy Agency. I note that all the tests and assessments carried out by NRW and their experts in this specific field concluded the material is within safe limits and poses no radiological risk to human health or the environment. I also note from the report and the committee's consideration that the issues raised by the petitioner have been given significant consideration, and clear evidence has been provided to support the conclusions made in relation to this disposal activity. So, I want to be very clear and reiterate this point. I'm very keen for this clear message to be communicated fully to the public: NRW have determined, based on expert advice, that the disposal activity poses no radiological risk to humans or the marine environment.
