Public consultations and discussions

By participating in our consultations and discussions, you can take the opportunity to influence how we regulate the safety and security of the nuclear industry in the UK.

Current consultations/discussions

• International Atomic Energy Agency draft documents
  ONR coordinates comments on behalf of the UK on draft IAEA Safety standards. Through IAEA Safety Standards Committee members, we provide feedback to the IAEA following publication of the draft documents on our website, receipt and review of comments by stakeholders. We will also publicise the consultation documents through our external communication channels to relevant stakeholders.

Closed consultations/discussions

• Draft openness and transparency policy consultation
  We consulted on our policy for openness and transparency with interested stakeholders and the public. The consultation was open to all. We've sought to be open and transparent in the development of this policy through engagement with our stakeholders, and with our staff and board to ensure it has been informed by their views.
• Comments invited on updated external hazards papers
  We invited comments from interested stakeholders on our updated reference papers for Coastal Flood Hazards and Meteorological Hazards for Nuclear Sites.
• Consultation on ONR's revised interpretation of 'bulk quantities' in the context of licensing nuclear installations for storage and disposal of radioactive matter
  This consultation related to how we will interpret ‘bulk quantities’ when applying the revised legislation to make a decision to licence a future GDF. While addressing this matter, we are also seeking to update how we make licensing decisions relating to storage because of other recent changes to the law.
• Draft ONR Strategy to 2025
  ONR consulted on its draft strategy for the next five years, ONR 2025.
