Post-Implementation Review of Nuclear Installations Regulations

Overview

The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero is conducting a post implementation review (PIR) regarding the impact of three statutory instruments (SI):

• The Nuclear Installations (Prescribed Sites and Transport) Regulations 2018 which came into force on 01 January 2022.
• The Nuclear Installations (Insurance Certificate) Regulations 2017 which came into force on 01 January 2022.
• The Nuclear Installations (Excepted Matter) Regulations 2017 which came into force on 06 April 2018.

We are seeking feedback to determine:

• whether the Regulations meet their original objectives
• their impact on operators and whether there have been any unintended consequences
• if the objectives remain appropriate and the extent to which they could be achieved through less onerous regulation

Views and evidence from stakeholders will be crucial in helping the Government see the extent to which the Regulations have achieved their objectives and if there have been any unintended effects. This will inform whether any changes to the Regulations are necessary.
