Details of high, intermediate and low-level wastes at nuclear sites in Scotland are included in a report prepared for United Kingdom Nirex Ltd and the Department of the Environment entitled, "The 1988 United Kingdom Radioactive Waste Inventory" (DOE/RW/89–088). Other users of radioactive materials produce low-level waste and the names and addresses of those authorised under the Radioactive Substances Act 1960 to accumulate or dispose of such waste are included in the register of registration and authorisations maintained by HM industrial pollution inspectorate for Scotland.
