The Compensation Scheme for Radiation Linked Diseases

Agreement was reached in July 1994 for the Ministry of Defence and its trade unions to join the Compensation Scheme for Radiation Linked Diseases. The Scheme is a joint initiative between the participating employers and their trades' unions.

It is managed on a day-to-day basis by an independent Executive Secretary on behalf of all participants. The Ministry of Defence, AWE plc, DML, Babcock Rosyth, Babcock Naval Services, BNFL, UKAEA, British Energy Generation and British Energy Generation (UK) Ltd are all Scheme members.
