Nuclear safety research - Other research and support programmes

Nuclear safety studies

Work is contracted under the Nuclear Safety Studies Programme to aid NSD assessors in their duties. The majority of the work examines specific topics associated with existing plant rather than generic issues. The Nuclear Safety Studies Programme Manager in the NSR unit is responsible for overall management of the Programme. Project Officers are responsible for managing and monitoring their particular contracts.
