Trillium Flow Services UK Ltd has complied with two regulatory improvement notices following asbestos related shortfalls at Torness Nuclear Power Station.
The incident occurred during a planned outage at the East Lothian site in Scotland, in March 2026, when workers could have been exposed to asbestos in a valve within the steam system while carrying out overhaul activities.
Trillium Flow Services UK Ltd has now positively demonstrated to the Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR) that it has suitable arrangements for monitoring the close-out of work order logs relating to asbestos, and has established proactive measures to ensure that the presence, or potential presence, of asbestos is appropriately assessed.
These improvements contribute to the delivery of ONR's strategy by reinforcing the safety standards and continuous improvement that are essential to ensuring safe nuclear for a secure and sustainable future.
ONR issued the notices to Trillium Flow Services Ltd under The Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 S2(1) and 3(1), The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 regulation 5 and The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 regulation 5.
