Crynodeb gweithredol

Diben Ymyrryd

Roedd yr arolygiad hwn yn un o gyfres o arolygiadau a gynlluniwyd ar gyfer 2021/22, sy'n cael eu llywio gan strategaeth is-adran Tanwydd a Gwastraff Datgomisiynu ONR ( DFW).  

Ymyriadau a Gynhaliwyd gan ONR

Archwiliodd yr arolygiad hwn ddigonolrwydd trefniadau Magnox Limited ar safle Wylfa ar gyfer cydymffurfio â phedwar Amod Trwydded (LC): LC 32 (cronni gwastraff ymbelydrol), LC 33 (gwaredu gwastraff ymbelydrol), LC 34 (gollwng a dianc gan ddeunydd ymbelydrol a gwastraff ymbelydrol) ac LC 35 (datgomisiynu) a'u gweithredu. Fe wnes i hefyd fynd ar daith gerdded gyda chynrychiolwyr diogelwch safle Wylfa.

Esboniad o'r Dyfarniad os na chaiff y System Ddiogelwch ei Barnu i fod yn Ddigonol

Amherthnasol.

Canfyddiadau Allweddol, Barn yr Arolygydd a Rhesymau dros Ddyfarniadau a Wnaed

Yn seiliedig ar y dystiolaeth a samplwyd ar adeg yr arolygiad hwn, fy marn i yw bod Magnox Limited yn gweithredu trefniadau effeithiol ar gyfer cydymffurfio ag LC 32, 33, 34 a 35 yn Wylfa.

Casgliad yr Ymyrraeth

Ni nodwyd unrhyw faterion a allai effeithio'n andwyol ar ddiogelwch niwclear yn fy marn i.
