Office for Nuclear Regulation An agency of HSE Health and safety in the nuclear industry : « Office for Nuclear Regulation is responsible for all nuclear sector regulation across the UK. ONR was formed on 1 April 2011 as an agency of the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). ONR is now working towards becoming an independent statutory corporation. »
About HSE : « HSE is the national independent watchdog for work-related health, safety and illness. We are an independent regulator and act in the public interest to reduce work-related death and serious injury across Great Britain’s workplaces. »
[1] [PDF], Health and Safety Executive, 2005 : « In total, approximately 83 000 litres of dissolver product liquor, containing approximately 22 000 kilograms of nuclear fuel (mostly uranium incorporating around 160 kilograms of plutonium), had leaked onto the floor of the cell. (…) a criticality incident would not have been possible with the particular concentration of leaked liquor involved in this incident. »
HM Nuclear Installations Inspectorate Quarterly statement of nuclear incidents at nuclear installations, Health & Safety Executive : « For the period 1 April 2005 to 30 June 2005 there was 1 incident at a nuclear licensed installation that met the reporting criteria. Sellafield, BNGSL (British Nuclear Group Sellafield Limited) evaluated this event as INES category 3, because of the significant release of radioactivity into the secondary containment. »

”Construction Start Date“= The date when first major placing of concrete for the base mat of the reactor building is made. For floating NPP the construction start date is the beginning of platform construction. From this date the reactor is considered to be under construction. " IAEA web site (www.iaea.org)

(en) « UK reactor enters final assessment stageWNA Four-stage process », 2 novembre 2015 : « GDA is the UK nuclear regulators' (ONR and Environment Agency) process for assessing new nuclear power plant designs proposed for construction in the UK. GDA Step 1 is the preparatory phase, and does not involve technical assessment work. It involves the setting up of formal agreements between the regulators and the Requesting Party, and discussions on the requirements for GDA. GDA Step 2 is an overview of the fundamental acceptability of the reactor design within the nuclear regulatory regime of Great Britain. It aims to identify design or safety shortfalls that could prevent the design from being acceptable for construction in Great Britain. It is focused on understanding the key assertions about the safety of the reactor. GDA Step 3 progresses the Step 2 work and moves into assessment of the reasoning (safety arguments) supporting the safety claims. For security, the focus is on the arrangements for developing the conceptual security plan. GDA Step 4 is the detailed assessment phase where regulators analyse the evidence provided to support the safety claims and arguments. At the end of Step 4, they determine whether sufficient evidence has been submitted by the RP to issue a Design Acceptance Confirmation (DAC) by ONR, and a Statement of Design Acceptability (SoDA) by the Environment Agency. »
