Dungeness B: Safety reassessed at nuclear power station

The incident posted 'no nuclear risk', the ONR said

A nuclear power station operator has been served with enforcement action to reassess safety arrangements following an incident in May.

The Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR) investigated Dungeness B Power Station in Kent, following damage to boiler tubes during testing in a reactor.

An ONR spokesman said it posed "no nuclear safety risk to workers or the public" but improvements were needed.

EDF Energy Nuclear Generation Ltd must have a plan in place by 1 December.
