The regulatory justification process for proposed new nuclear power stations in the UK
The regulatory justification process for proposed new nuclear power stations in the UK
Practice Notes

This Practice Note looks at how the regulatory justification process applies to proposed new nuclear power stations in the UK. This international framework, on which the Euratom and therefore UK approach is based, was developed through the collaboration of the International Commission for Radiation Protection (ICRP) and the International Commission on Radiation Units and Measurements (the ICRU), and was most recently updated in 2007 with the publication of the ICRP 103. It forms the core European Nuclear Regulation, and is also used as a basis for other regimes throughout the world. Although this Practice Note looks specifically at nuclear power in the UK, the Framework itself is applicable to any practices that may result in human exposure to ionising radiation, and it seeks to ensure that the benefit of the risk outweighs any potentially detrimental effects. In addition, this Practice Note considers the Nuclear Sector Deal, published in 2008 by the UK government in conjunction with the Nuclear Industry Council.
