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

I inspected the licensee’s arrangements made under LC13 and judged that they meet the requirements of the relevant published guidance.

I witnessed the implementation of the arrangements by observing a nuclear safety committee meeting taking place at the site. I also visited a plant facility with committee members.  Based on the observations made I am satisfied that the arrangements were adequately implemented.

Based on my findings an ONR inspection rating of Green for LC13 is appropriate.
