Abstract: Judicial reviews of two ministerial decisions, alleged by environmental pressure groups to have been in default of international obligations on radiological protection, are examined. Although both challenges were unsuccessful, they nevertheless exposed differences between UK pragmatism and the more prescriptive approach favoured by EURATOM. It is argued that the consolidation of the European environmental programme in the Maastricht Treaty offers further opportunities for nongovernmental organisations to exploit such differences.
