Nuclear Decommissioning Authority

The complainant has requested Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) to confirm whether it is in the process of purchasing land adjoining or in the vicinity of the low level waste repository site at drigg Cumbria and, if so, to provide a map of that land. NDA refused to disclose this information citing regulation 12(5)(e) of the EIR. The Commissioner’s decision is that NDA is not entitled to refuse to disclose the withheld information under regulation 12(5)(e) of the EIR.
