Health and Safety Executive

Quarterly statement of incidents at nuclear installations

E121:05 14 September 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 April to 30 June 2005 there was one incident at a nuclear licensed installation that met the reporting criteria. A copy of the statement is attached.

Notes to editors

  • 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.
  • 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.
