The
UK Office for Nuclear Regulation has published revised site licensing
guidance, which will be used to review the application by NNB Genco for a
site license to build two EPR reactors at Hinkley Point.
NNB Genco is the consortium of EDF and Centrica that has applied for a site license for Hinkley Point C. The “
Licensing Nuclear Installations” document replaces “The licensing of nuclear installations” issued in March 2007.
The
revised document takes account of the government’s National Policy
Statement for Nuclear Power Generation (2009) and recent changes in
legislation, including the Energy Act (2008) and the Planning Act
(2008), ONR said. It also sets out the factors that the regulator may
take into account when reviewing a license application, and refers to
relevant technical assessment guidance.
