This was a planned inspection of the licensee's arrangements for the notification, recording, investigation and reporting of incidents on the site made under Licence Condition 7 as required by the Decommissioning Fuel and Waste Sites Strategy. The scope was limited to a review of changes and improvements and a review of findings and trends since the previous inspection, and inspection of a sample of investigation reports as the previous inspection had been rated as Green under the ONR Inspection Rating Guide.
