Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, when he plans for the new Safeguards Information Management and Reporting System to be fully operational.
When Euratom safeguards arrangements no longer apply to the UK, the Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR) will regulate safeguards in the UK, and will be responsible for ensuring arrangements to deliver this are in place. This will include a Safeguards Information Management and Reporting System.
The ONR will have in place the IT system and safeguards inspectors needed to ensure the UK continues to meet international obligations when we leave Euratom.
