Annual Report for 2010/11 and Forward Programme - Sellafield Ltd

Page 3 of 3programme. Sellafield Ltd will consult with the Agency on this allocation.To the south of Sellafield, beach monitoring has been carried out at Drigg beach each year,extending down to Drigg Point and the Ravenglass estuary. The HPA presentation to themulti-agency workshop in November 2010 included a recommendation for: “Further monitoringat Drigg beach, to reduce uncertainties in the assessment of the population of objects on thatbeach”. Consistent with this recommendation, Drigg beach will be monitored twice during2011/12.In developing this programme, Sellafield Ltd aims to deliver a schedule of beach monitoringthat achieves the right balance between beach locations and target areas; whilst recognisingthe range of stakeholder views on the monitoring operations themselves. We believe theprogramme is commensurate with the levels of risk as currently assessed; and is capable ofproviding reassurance that risks remain very low. As in previous years, where findings fromthe monitoring result in the need to review the programme, this will be done in full consultationwith the Agency.I look forward to your response.Yours sincerelyMartin EJ CloughEnvironmental Monitoring and AssessmentsEHS&Qmartin.clough@sellafieldsites.comOn behalf of Sellafield LtdCopied toRegulator Liaison Office, B113J DesmondA company owned by Nuclear Management Partners LtdRegistered Office: Booths Park,Chelford Road, Knutsford, Cheshire WA16 8QZCompany Registration No. 1002607
