Statement of incidents at nuclear installations

HSE Press Release: E041:05 24 March 2005

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

For the period 1 October 31 December 2004 there were no incidents at any of the nuclear licensed installations that met the reporting criteria.

Notes to editors

  1. The arrangements for reporting nuclear 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 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.
