Description
This Act, which came into force on 10th June 1976, extends the powers of the UKAEA's Special Constables (i.e. Police) so that they may be better able to safeguard fissile materials in nuclear installations and during transport. Under the Act the UKAEA's Special Constables are deemed to be Crown servants for the purposes of the Firearms Act 1968, Section 2, and it extends the kind of property in relation to which the UKAEA's Special Constables may exercise their powers when they are outside the premises within which they were appointed to act. It also extends the geographical limits within which the UKAEA's Special Constables may exercise their powers, so that their powers may now be exercised wherever they may go in order to safeguard fissile materials or to pursue persons believed to have removed or attempted to remove such materials unlawfully.
