WG 1 – Safety and Regulation

Chairperson: Mr Ian Salter (Ian.Salter@Burges-Salmon.com).

Secretary: Mr R Kuyler (kuylerr@westinghouse.com).

Scope of Activities:

Working Group 1 concerns itself with Safety and Regulation.  In the wider sense, it looks at:

• Safety;
• The licensing of nuclear power plant, both in their construction, operation and decommissioning phases;
• Environmental concerns;
• Issues relevant to the licensing, commercial arrangements or financing of nuclear power plants; and
• The establishment of nuclear laws in countries that are new to nuclear.

As a group, we work collaboratively on joint projects and are currently working on a project concerning laws around the world, dealing with the political closure of nuclear power plants.

Membership is open to any INLA member and we try to hold two membership meetings per annum, but are always flexible to members joining meetings by telephone, acknowledging transport is not always possible to our meetings for all participants.
