UK National Radon Action Plan

The UK needs to have a National Radon Action Plan (NRAP) under the Ionising Radiation (Basic Safety Standards) (Miscellaneous Provisions) Regulations 2018, SI 2018/482, which put into practice part of the Basic Safety Standards Directive 2013/59/EURATOM.

This consultation invited feedback on the draft NRAP which addresses the health risks from public exposure to radon. The NRAP describes the national radon strategy and arrangements for managing exposure to radon in homes and workplaces, including the arrangements and approaches used to communicate information and guidance on radon from government and private industry to relevant groups such as members of the public and local authorities.
