NDA brings nuclear sector senior leaders together to galvanise action on Nuclear Regulatory Taskforce (NRTF) review recommendations.

David Peattie, NDA Group CEO, addresses leaders at NRTF event

On 16 September, the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) brought senior leaders from across the nuclear sector together in Manchester to galvanise action on the Nuclear Regulatory Taskforce (NRTF) review recommendations, unlocking a golden age of nuclear.

Leaders discussed how they’ll collectively accelerate delivery of the review’s recommendations, capitalising on a once-in-a generation opportunity to realise the sector’s full potential.

The Review was commissioned by the government, led by economist John Fingleton, to look at how to modernise and strengthen the UK’s nuclear regulatory system with the ultimate aim of delivering faster and cheaper progress through a more proportionate approach to risk and accelerating delivery.

Senior representatives in attendance spanned across the nuclear lifecycle, from defence, decommissioning, new build, government, regulators and the supply chain.

David Peattie, NDA Group CEO and host of the event, said:

The NDA group is committed to driving forward the reforms set out through the Nuclear Regulatory Taskforce and working with partners across the sector to deliver the step change the government is calling for.

This is a significant opportunity to modernise the way we deliver our mission, reducing the lifetime cost of decommissioning and securing greater value from public investment, while maintaining the highest standards of safety, security and environmental protection.

These discussions mark an important step in building the cultural shift needed to accelerate delivery of the Taskforce’s recommendations, helping unlock economic growth, support reindustrialisation and create skilled jobs across communities throughout the UK.
