Executive summary
Purpose of Intervention
The purpose of this inspection was to confirm compliance with a number of Licence Conditions at Hinkley Point A, Berkeley and Oldbury sites as part of a series of planned inspections for 2019/20 in support of ONR’s Decommissioning Fuel and Waste sub-division strategy.
Interventions Carried Out by ONR
We examined the licensee’s compliance with: Licence Condition 05 (consignment of nuclear matter); Licence condition 32: (accumulation of radioactive waste); and Licence Condition 34 (leakage and escape of radioactive material and radioactive waste) at all three sites.
Explanation of Judgement if Safety System Not Judged to be Adequate
Not applicable.
Key Findings, Inspector's Opinions and Reasons for Judgements Made
At each site we examined the arrangements put in place by Magnox Ltd to establish whether they were compliant and we were able to establish clear linkage from the requirements set out in each of the three licence conditions through to local implementation of the arrangements on the sites.
We undertook plant walk-downs of radiological areas of the site to inspect the implementation of arrangements at the workplace. We undertook checks of waste records and consignment records at each site and found them to be in order. No shortfalls were identified.
