Transport regulations are enforced by expert independent regulators, the Office for Nuclear Regulation in Great Britain and the Northern Ireland Environment Agency in Northern Ireland. The Government invited the International Atomic Energy Agency\u2019s (IAEA) Integrated Regulatory Review Service (IRRS) mission to assess the UK\u2019s regulatory framework for radiological and nuclear safety in 2019, including for transport.

Nuclear and radiation safety is a top priority for Government and our arrangements are kept under regular review. We have a well-respected regulatory system which reflects international best practice. All operators are answerable to a robust and independent regulator \u2013 the Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR).

Safety provisions for the movement of Defence Nuclear Material by road and rail are regulated and assessed by the Defence Nuclear Safety Regulator (DNSR). The most recent DNSR assessments, of road in June 2016 and rail in September 2016, found that safety arrangements were adequate, demonstrating that performance meets the required standard.<\/p>

<\/p>

A wide range of safety and contingency measures are in place to ensure the safe movement of Defence Nuclear Materials. These are summarised in the publicly available Local Authority and Emergency Services Information document.<\/p>

Police forces are always notified in advance of a nuclear weapon convoy being routed through their area. Police forces may advise fire and rescue services of the presence of the convoy if it is moving into the vicinity of a fire service operation.
