Reviews of nuclear safety regulations and practice

In this area, we have carried out:
  • Reviews of regulatory practice, including inspection procedures and requirements. For example, we carried out a survey on regulatory inspection for nuclear facilities in France and the UK.
  • Evaluations of safety culture in the nuclear sector and other industries. For example, we reviewed nuclear safety culture in the UK and Germany.
  • Reviews of nuclear safety regulations, including guidance and best practice. For example, we reviewed:
    • The regulatory framework and assessment of Periodic Safety Reviews (PSRs), safety case documentation, and ageing issues for nuclear fuel cycle (NFC) facilities in the UK, France and Germany.
    • Regulations pertaining to NFC facilities and their decommissioning in the UK, France and Germany.
    • Performance-based and risk-informed nuclear regulations, and inspections on Quality Assurance in the UK and France.
