Government response to public consultation
Summary
The Nuclear Industries Security Regulations 2003 are the key regulations establishing the security framework for the civil nuclear industry. They were introduced before the existence of the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) and it has since become apparent that the regulations need amendment to cover the NDA, its contractors and any future entrants into the UK's civil nuclear market.
The government launched a public consultation on it its proposals to amend these regulations in December 2005. This document summarises the responses to consultation and explains the government's final decisions on key points.
