Create a new pathway to allow semi-urban power stations
New pathway for semi-urban power stations
DESNZ should amend EN-7 so that is provides two routes open to LWRs for complying with SUPDC: either compliance with the methodology, or via a new 28-day process culminating in an approval from the Secretary of State or the Commission (if established). This process should oblige the Government (or, if established, the Commission) to confirm that it has no objections in principle to a given proposal, in light of the safety which can be assured via the nuclear site licensing, and REPPIR19.
The ONR should revise SUPDC to account for scientific and technological progress since the original system was created.
