Subject to section 34, the decision of the Authority shall be final.

For the exercise of the power referred to in subsection (l)(a), the

Authority or any other authorised officer may do anything that is necessary or expedient for carrying out the disposal of the radioactive waste, including entry to the premises and taking the radioactive waste for disposal.
