To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether veterans who participated in nuclear tests in (a) Nevada and (b) AWE Aldermaston will be eligible for a Nuclear Test Veteran Medal.
The Nuclear Test Medal was specifically designed to recognise the unique contribution of those personnel who served at the locations in Australia and the Pacific where the UK Atmospheric Nuclear Test Programme, including the clear-up operations, took place between 1952 and 1967. The eligibility criteria for the Medal do not, therefore, include personnel who contributed to the test programme remotely from the UK, personnel who were present at underground tests in the United States, or personnel who tracked and photographed nuclear tests conducted by other nations.

The Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR) has stated that safety at the Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE) sites is acceptable. The ONR's decision to place the AWE Aldermaston site under enhanced regulatory attention was due to issues relating principally to ageing facilities, which do not pose any immediate safety concerns.
AWE has a plan in place for the long-term safe management of radioactive waste and this has resulted in the successful closure of the ONR's Improvement Notice regarding this matter.
The Ministry of Defence works closely with AWE, monitoring all aspects of its performance, including regulatory compliance.
