I have some concerns about the Minister's ability to veto certain licensing decisions. I am not referring to a current Minister but we do not know who the Minister will be in future. If a loophole is left without being closed off, it can become an opportunity, albeit an unintended one. Could the Minister veto certain EPA decisions on nuclear material licences? It appears that the Minister, rather than the RPII, has the ultimate responsibility.
