Revise ONR's charging model to give dutyholders greater cost certainty

Revise ONR charging model

Full Recommendation Text

Charging levels should be proportionate to inspector experience. There must be transparency around costs with narratives provided to licence applicants. There should be an allowance for the generation of surplus and for that to be reinvested into wider regulatory activities, including R&D and international engagement, that develop ONR capability and benefit the sector.

Government should increase ONR's core grant to support international engagement in regulatory harmonisation and expertise in international nuclear technology and its regulation.
