Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy written question – answered at on 25 July 2017.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what estimate he has made of the (a) cost and (b) additional staff requirements for the Office for Nuclear Regulation of (i) managing negotiations and planning for the UK leaving Euratom and (ii) replicating that nuclear safeguards regime.
Our aim throughout the negotiations with the European Commission will be to maintain our mutually successful civil nuclear cooperation with Euratom and the rest of the world. The details of these arrangements will determine the cost and staff requirements.
Government has announced that it will introduce a Nuclear Safeguards Bill, which will ensure that the Office for Nuclear Regulation has the legal underpinning required for it to take on the role and responsibilities required to meet our international safeguards and nuclear non-proliferation obligations.
