Our People is a regular feature focusing on staff at the Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR) and the work we do every day to help keep the nuclear industry safe and secure. Today, we meet Gareth Allsopp, a security inspector who works in our STAR (Sabotage, Target Analysis and Review) team, which brings together expertise in security, engineering and radiological risk to assess how nuclear sites could be protected against sabotage.
Today the Chief Nuclear Inspector announced that Great Britain’s nuclear industry has continued to operate safely and securely throughout the 2025/26 reporting period.
Hinkley Point B has become the first Advanced Gas-Cooled Reactor (AGR) site in England to transfer from EDF to NRS.

The policy reinforces how industry can demonstrate compliance without unnecessary duplication of effort or 'gold-plating' of safety measures.
