Site Licence Conditions

The Nuclear Installations Act 1965 (as amended) requires HSE (through ONR) to attach conditions to nuclear site licences. Licence conditions define areas of nuclear safety to which a licensee should pay attention to ensure safe operation of the site. While some conditions impose specific duties others require the licensee to devise and implement adequate arrangements in particular areas. The issues covered range from arrangements for ensuring the safety of plant and for controlling operations to management issues such as the supervision and training of staff. Breach of a licence condition is an offence under NIA65 s.4(6). A schedule of 35 standard conditions was incorporated into all nuclear site licences granted between 1990 and 1999. A new licence condition, "Licence Condition 36 (LC36), was attached to all nuclear site licences at the end of July 1999. LC36(5) came into effect on 1 August 1999 and LC36(1)-(4) came into effect on 1 April 2000; this delay allowed time for licensees to develop their arrangements to achieve compliance. A high-level summary of the 36 conditions attached to a nuclear site licence is below: LC1 - Definitions and interpretations. LC2 – Adequate provision to ensure that no unauthorised access to site is allowed. LC3 – Restricts the ability of the site licensee to deal in or dispose of any part of the licensed site (i.e. by way of sale, assignment or leasing). The expression “LC(3) consent” relates to the consent of the ONR which is required before the licensee can deal in or dispose of any part of the licensed site. LC4 – Restricts what nuclear materials can be brought on site and their usage. LC5 – Restricts the destination where the site licensee can ship nuclear materials. LC6 – Ensures that the site licensee has adequate provision for the management of records and documents. LC7 – Ensures that the site licensee has adequate provision for the notification, recording, investigation and reporting of incidents. LC8 – Ensures that the site has adequate warning notices and that their meaning is clear and explained. LC9 - Ensures that every person authorised to be on the site receives adequate instructions (to the extent that this is necessary having regard to the circumstances of that person being on the site) as regards the risks and hazards associated with the plant and its operation, the precautions to be observed in connection therewith and the action to be taken in the event of an accident or emergency on the site. LC10 – Requires the site licensee to make and implement adequate arrangements for suitable training for all those on site who have responsibility for any operations which may affect safety. LC11 – Requires the site licensee to make and implement adequate arrangement for dealing with any accident or emergency arising on the site and their effects. LC12 – Ensures that the site licensee has adequate arrangements to ensure that only suitably qualified and experienced persons perform any duties which may affect the safety of operations. LC13 – Ensures that the site licensee establishes a nuclear safety committee(s). LC14 – Ensures that the site licensee creates and maintains relevant safety cases. LC15 – Ensures that safety cases are regularly reviewed. LC16 – Ensures that there are accurate site plans. LC17 – Ensures that the site licensee has adequate management and quality systems in place. LC18 – Ensures that there are adequate measures in place to assess average worker dosage. LC19 - Where the site licensee proposes to construct or install any new plant which may affect safety, the licensee shall make and implement"
