TÜV UK - TÜV NORD EnSys latest publication to be showcased at IAEA’s conference on Effective Nuclear and Radiation Regulatory Systems, Abu Dhabi, UAE: 20 – 23 February 2023.

“UKAEA has teamed up with Oxford Sigma (OS), Frazer-Nash Consultancy (FNC) and TÜV UK to train the next generation of fusion engineers in tackling the engineering challenges of commercial fusion energy”

This paper identifies regulatory challenges facing innovators in the UK nuclear industry. The UK nuclear safety regulator (Office for Nuclear Regulation - ONR) cannot accept lower safety standards, so operators must explore alternative approaches in their safety cases to justify their designs and/or processes. ONR funded a research report [1] looking at how innovation is regulated and safety demonstrated in other ‘high risk’ industries. Using some of these approaches as well as the authors’ experiences, a variety of approaches are proposed to overcome the regulatory challenges facing innovators

TÜV UK’s Nuclear division is pleased to publish it’s latest technical paper entitled “Blueprint for Future Nuclear Power” in the May 2021 edition of Nuclear Engineering International’s journal.
