Puts in place the formal agreements and arrangements needed for the regulators to take forward their assessment of the nuclear power station designs. Those companies wanting to have their designs assessed prepare safety, security and environment reports.
Provides an initial review of the safety aspects of the proposed reactor design and involves a detailed analysis of the technology. It allows the NII assessors to become familiar with the designs and to identify any significant issues.
Provides an initial review of security aspects of the proposed reactor design. It allows the NII assessors to become familiar with the technology and to take a view on the measures required for delivering appropriate security.
Provides a high-level assessment of the environmental implications of the new nuclear power stations. The aim is to identify whether further information is needed, whether there are any obviously unacceptable matters, and whether any significant design modifications are likely to be required.
