Purpose of Intervention
The purpose of this inspection was to check Tradebe Inutec Ltd’s compliance with LC17, LC24, LC25 and LC26.
Interventions Carried Out by ONR
The inspection focused on how the requirements of LC17, LC24, LC25 and LC26 were implemented through the licensee’s management system arrangements made to comply with the Carriage of Dangerous Goods and Use of Transportable Pressure Equipment Regulations 2009 (CDG 2009) for the movement of radioactive materials (termed Class 7 goods).
Key Findings, Inspector's Opinions and Reasons for Judgements Made
The licensees process lifecycle was examined in the distinct areas of: Management Systems Structure, assignment of management roles and commitment to nuclear safety. From a review of the licensee’s arrangements and the evidence examined I considered that the implementation of its arrangements for LC’s 17 is adequate.
I considered the licensees working instructions regarding waste processing confirmed that operational activities and waste packages leaving the licensed site are in compliance with the Carriage of Dangerous Goods and Use of Transportable Pressure Equipment Regulations 2009 (CDG 2009) for the movement of class 7 goods. I considered these arrangements demonstrated adequate compliance to LC 25.
I examined the licensee’s document storage arrangements and considered them adequate and in compliance with LC 25.
From my review of the arrangements for compliance with LC26, I am content that for control of operations they are proportionate to the site operations.
From the evidence examined, including interviews with the trainee operations supervisor, I considered that the implementation of its arrangements for LC’s 26 is adequate.
Conclusion of Intervention
I am content that the arrangements made under LC17, LC24, LC25 and LC26 are adequate and implemented appropriately for the licensee’s activities.
