two.1.4) Short description
In 2017 ONR published Security Assessment Principles (SyAPs) as the world's first outcome-focussed regulatory framework for nuclear security, mirroring the well-established Safety Assessment Principles (SAPs).
The move to outcome-focussed regulation of security was a significant change and has proved to be a substantial challenge for industry.
ONR has made a commitment to industry to review SyAPs and their implementation as part of our assurance and commitment to continuous improvement. We would therefore benefit from independent evaluation of our approach, eliciting feedback on good practices to continue as well as potential areas for improvement.
