If ONR or an export regulator asked tomorrow, could you prove it?
Nuclear site-licence and safety-case flow-down, nuclear-quality and export-control duties — they bind several tiers below you, on deadlines already set. There’s a difference between asserting your chain is clean and being able to evidence it.
Settled as the Compliance Evidence PackMost obligations are met by assertion until the day they’re tested. An Evidence Pack draws the boundary between what your records actually prove and what you’d have to reconstruct under a probe — before the licensee, ONR or the export regulator draws it for you.
What you can evidence — and what you’d have to reconstruct.
Typical reader: a nuclear quality, licensing or export-control lead.
The clocks are already running.
On 24 November 2025 the Nuclear Regulatory Review 2025 set out 47 recommendations restructuring the regulatory pathway — the lead-regulator model, GDA and the merger of the Defence Nuclear Safety Regulator into the ONR — on a 2026–2028 timetable the government accepted in principle at the Budget. Export-control exposure is dated too: China’s rare-earth and permanent-magnet licence regime, suspended on 7 November 2025, is paused only to 10 November 2026 before it can re-arm. The deadlines are set — the question is whether you can evidence the chain before they’re tested. See what changed →
