133 The Nuclear Non‑Proliferation (Safeguards) Act 1987
(1) This Act does not exclude the operation of the Nuclear Non‑Proliferation (Safeguards) Act 1987, to the extent that the Nuclear Non‑Proliferation (Safeguards) Act 1987 is capable of operating concurrently with this Act.
Note: Example: A person may be required by this Act to hold a licence, and by the Nuclear Non‑Proliferation (Safeguards) Act 1987 to hold a permit, in respect of the same thing. The person must satisfy the requirements of both Acts in so far as they are capable of being satisfied concurrently.
(2) The application of this Act in relation to nuclear material and associated items (within the meaning of the Nuclear Non‑Proliferation (Safeguards) Act 1987) is subject to any modifications that are prescribed by the regulations. (3) Part 4 of this Act (which deals with compliance and enforcement) is not to be taken to excuse an inspector from complying with sections 23, 25, 25A, 26 and 26A of the Nuclear Non‑Proliferation (Safeguards) Act 1987.
Note: The Nuclear Non‑Proliferation (Safeguards) Act 1987 sets out defences that apply to offences against the sections of that Act that are mentioned in this subsection.
