The licensee at Hunterston B, EDF Energy Nuclear Generation Ltd, notified ONR of the cracking of two graphite bricks in the core of Hunterston B (Reactor 4) on 21 August 2014. The type of cracking identified is termed ‘keyway root cracking’ and it has been considered by the licensee in its safety case. ONR’s technical experts confirmed that the cracks identified were well within the safe limits of operation set within the safety case and that they do not pose an increased risk to the public. On this basis, ONR was satisfied with the licensee’s justification for the return to service of Reactor 4 at Hunterston B and issued a Consent to restart Reactor 4 on the 29<sup>th </sup>September 2014.</p> answering member constituency West Suffolk answering member printed Matthew Hancock question first answered 14/11/2014 12:11:58 answering member 4070 label Biography information for Matt Hancock previous answer version 22367 answering member constituency West Suffolk answering member printed Matthew Hancock answering member 4070 label Biography information for Matt Hancock
