Government Response: Lead regulator model on track
The Government has already taken steps to implement this recommendation. ONR has written to other regulators to form a "super six" grouping of key nuclear regulators. The lead regulator model will be in place by 31 March 2026, meeting the original target date. The approach will cover both civil and defence sites on a site-based basis, which goes beyond the original scope. This is one of the most advanced recommendations in terms of delivery.
