Enforcement

Our mission is to protect society by securing safe nuclear operations. As the nuclear regulator, we must take enforcement action when licensees are found to be failing to meet the safety and security standards required by law. To do this we have been provided with a range of enforcement powers which range from providing advice to instigating court proceedings.
