Environmental Protection

The Australian Naval Nuclear Power Safety Regulator provides assurance that the highest standards of nuclear safety are upheld.

This includes protecting the safety of the environment and people.

For the Australian Naval Nuclear Power Safety Regulator to authorise regulated activities, a Licence Applicant is required to prepare a proposed environmental protection plan which must be submitted as part of the licence application.

There are a range of Federal and State entities that regulate and monitor protection of the environment, including Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water and the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency .
