Executive summary

Purpose of Intervention

This inspection was one of a series of planned inspections for 2020/21, which are informed by the ONR Decommissioning Fuel and Waste (DFW) sub-division strategy.   

Interventions Carried Out by ONR

This inspection examined the adequacy of Magnox Limited’s (ML) arrangements and their implementation on the Trawsfynydd site, against the background of returning from a Covid-19 pause period, for compliance with Licence Conditions (LC): LC 10 (Training), LC 12 (Duly Authorised and other Suitably Qualified and Experienced Persons), LC 26 (Control and supervision of operations), LC 28 (Examination, Inspection, Maintenance and Testing) and LC 36 (Organisational Capability).  I also completed a walk-down of the Trawsfynydd radiological controlled area with a Trawsfynydd site safety representative; and discussed with the site integration manager the impact of the site pause on Trawsfynydd’s planned activities through to the end of FY 21/22.

Explanation of Judgement if Safety System Not Judged to be Adequate

Key Findings, Inspector's Opinions and Reasons for Judgements Made

Based on the evidence examined it is my judgement that ML is effectively implementing arrangements for complying with LC 10, 12, 26, 28 and 36 at Trawsfynydd.    

Conclusion of Intervention

I identified no matters that in my opinion could adversely affect nuclear safety.  My findings were shared with and accepted by the licensee.
