Statement of nuclear incidents at nuclear installations

HSE Press Release E027:04 - 19 February 2004

A statement on incidents at nuclear installations in Britain that meet Ministerial reporting criteria is reported to the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry and the Secretary of State for Scotland. Every quarter the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) publishes the report.

For the period 1 October to 31 December 2003 there were no incidents at any of the nuclear licensed installations that met the reporting criteria.

Notes to editors

  1. The arrangements for reporting incidents were announced to Parliament by the Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Energy on 30 April 1987 (Hansard col. 203-204). A minor modification to arrangements for reporting on nuclear incidents was announced in HSE press notice E108:93 of 30 June 1993.
  2. Normally each incident mentioned in HSE's Quarterly Incident Statements will already have been made public by the licensee or site operator either through a press statement or by inclusion in the newsletter for the site concerned.
