Information requested

I would like to ask

Information released

We confirm that under s.1 of the FOIA, we do not hold the information you have requested.

This is because His Majesty’s Naval Base (HMNB) Clyde operates under authorisation of the Ministry of Defence's Defence Nuclear Safety Regulator (DNSR).

Whilst ONR regulates activities at DNSR-authorised sites (under the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 and relevant statutory provisions including the Ionising Radiation Regulations 2017, the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 and the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015), DNSR regulates nuclear safety at HMNB Clyde and therefore any nuclear safety incidents are reported directly to them. As such, we suggest requesting this information from DNSR via the following email address:
