The brief

The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) has requested that the Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR) provide support to BEIS' Advanced Nuclear Reactor innovation strategy.

The ONR (in conjunction with the EA) will support a range of tasks that BEIS will be undertaking as part of a research and development programme for Advanced Modular Reactors (AMR) announced by BEIS on 07/12/2017.

As part of this project the BEIS has approached the ONR to support BEIS' AMR project including policy development, competition design and delivery in accordance with an agreed technical specification.

In order to develop the necessary safety and security protections to regulate AMRs the ONR will need to develop the necessary capacity to do this.

The new regulatory framework developed by ONR must be fit-for-purpose for AMRs and not just a modification of existing regulation.
