Hello everyone
Welcome to the latest edition of ONR News, keeping you updated about our work as the UK’s independent nuclear regulator for safety, security and safeguards.
I'm delighted to say hello to you all as the new ONR Policy and Communications Director and I look forward to speaking to you regularly within this newsletter every couple of months.
Today's newsletter focuses on the announcement that Rolls-Royce SMR Limited's 470 MW Small Modular Reactor (SMR) design can progress to the next phase of the Generic Design Assessment (GDA) process.
Together with our fellow regulators, the Environment Agency and Natural Resources Wales (NRW), we agree that the preparatory work of Step 1 has been successfully completed and we can now begin the technical assessment phase of Step 2.
