Department · ONR Licence Conditions
Nuclear Safety and Licensing
Scope
The safety case, independent nuclear safety assessment, periodic safety review, licence compliance, event reporting and the nuclear baseline. The function that holds the argument for why the station is safe.
The reframing
"Nuclear safety is easily treated as the department that writes the safety case. But the safety case is only true if operations stay within the rules, maintenance keeps the safety systems available, and HR protects the baseline. Mapped across the framework, Nuclear Safety owns the argument; every other department owns the evidence."
