Officers from the UK Atomic Energy Authority Constabulary are being stationed at Hunterston in North Ayrshire, Torness in East Lothian, and at nuclear reactors in England and Wales.

The spokesman declined to give any details of the deployment, including the numbers of police involved, but it is known that there are a total of around 600 members of the UK Atomic Energy Authority Constabulary, all of whom are trained in the use of firearms.

The purpose of the consultations between the UK and Japan has been to ensure that appropriate measures are put in place for the physical protection of the material in line with internationally agreed commitments and recommendations on physical protection and reflecting the concern of all parties to prevent the proliferation of sensitive nuclear materials.
This includes compliance with the recommendation of the International Atomic Energy Agency that MOX fuel, like all other Category 1 nuclear material, should be accompanied during transport by an armed security escort.

 GREENPEACE ATTACKS UK/JAPAN PLANS TO SHIP PLUTONIUM FUEL
London -- Plans announced by the Energy Secretary, John Battle, to ship weapons usable Mixed Oxide (MOX) nuclear material from Sellafield to Japan, are ill-conceived, environmentally dangerous and will further destabilise relations in East Asia, warned Greenpeace today (1).
Greenpeace believes the proposals that the two Pacific Nuclear Transport Ltd ships "would carry armaments for defensive use only, under the control of specially trained officers of the UK Atomic Energy Authority Constabulary" is woefully inadequate and could in no way guarantee the safety of this weapons usable material.
Under the terms of the nuclear-cooperation agreement between the US and Japan, a transportation plan for any shipment containing plutonium is subject to U.S. approval, when the fissile material was extracted from nuclear fuel originally supplied by the U.S. for use in Japan's power reactors.
