Office for Nuclear Regulation: Businesses
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment his Department has made of the potential impact of regulations from the Office for Nuclear Regulation on businesses.
Answered by Michael Shanks
The Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR) does not make regulations. Assessments of impacts on businesses of regulations relating to nuclear would be found in the original economic impact assessments for those regulations and, where they have been carried out, in the post implementation review of those regulations.
As the Prime Minister announced, the Nuclear Taskforce will be undertaking a review of nuclear regulation, and it would be unfair to comment further until that review has concluded.
