A dump used for the disposal of radioactive waste is being forced to close.
For decades, Rolls-Royce has been using a quarry near Crich in Derbyshire to dispose of hazardous material.
The dump is sited near homes and local people mounted a long-running campaign to have it closed.
Government ministers have now signed a document from the Environment Agency to stop the tipping - and the waste will be taken to a sealed site in Cumbria.
