Study on the UK practice of nuclear safety regulation from 2018 to 2019

The Office for Nuclear Regulation is an independent nuclear regulatory authority in the UK, who regulates nuclear safety, security, safeguard and conventional health and safety at licensed nuclear sites in Great Britain. This includes regulation on the existing fleet of operating reactors, fuel cycle facilities, waste management and decommissioning sites, licensed defense sites, new nuclear facilities as well as the transport of civil nuclear and radioactive materials. This paper elaborates ONR's key regulatory milestones and deliverables during the period from April 1^st of 2018 to March 31^st of 2019, and summarizes its regulatory approach and measures adopted by the British nuclear safety regulatory authorities to carry out all kinds of supervision, so as to further strengthen the nuclear safety cooperation between UK and China and to enlighten the nuclear safety regulation in China.
