(3)In such cases and to such extent as it may appear to the [F8Executive][F8ONR] appropriate to do so, the [F8Executive][F8ONR] shall require a person who has applied for a nuclear site licence to repay to it so much of any expenses to which this section applies as may appear to it to be attributable to dealing with the application.

(6)Any liability of a person in respect of sums payable by him under this section on account of pensions shall, if the [F9Executive][F9ONR] so determines, be satisfied by way of contributions calculated, at such rate as may be determined by the Treasury, by reference to remuneration.
(7)Where the [F9Executive][F9ONR] anticipates that a person who has applied for or has been granted a nuclear site licence will become subject to a liability under this section, it may require him to make to it a payment or payments on account of the liability.
(8)Where a person has made a payment under subsection (7) of this section on account of an anticipated liability, then—
