	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/01/2017 answer text <p>It is for developers to bring forward new nuclear power stations in England and Wales; this includes procuring the technology. All developers must submit their full designs to the Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR) and the Environment Agencies as part of the Generic Design Assessment (GDA) process: the GDA is the non-statutory system by which the UK’s independent nuclear regulators assess safety, security and environmental aspects of new reactor designs proposed for use in the UK. In addition, any organisation wishing to carry out prescribed nuclear activities must apply for, and be granted, a nuclear site licence. A site licence puts the licence holder under strict legal obligations and, importantly, gives specific regulatory powers to ONR to ensure the safe and secure construction, commissioning and operation of a nuclear site.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 30/01/2017 15:38:44 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

For commencement, primary legislation would be required to amend section 16 and no timescales are currently planned for this.
