 Hello everyone Welcome to the latest edition of ONR News, keeping you updated about our work as the UK's independent nuclear regulator for safety, security and safeguards. Our newsletter reaches you amid a busy time in the ONR calendar, with some key publications expected in October. This includes our Annual Report and Accounts 2021/22 and our Chief Nuclear Inspector's (CNI) annual report on Great Britain's nuclear industry. We will be meeting with many of you during the coming weeks to talk more about the CNI report and look forward to hearing your comments. Earlier this year I mentioned that we were conducting our annual stakeholder survey, which helps us better understand the views of those we work and engage with. The insight enables to us to identify areas of strength, as well as shape our priorities for continuous improvement. Introduction of this revamped newsletter, for example, was in direct response to your comments. Today, I am pleased to share the 2022 report with you. Our success depends on the confidence that the public and other stakeholders have in us, and that's why it is central to our Strategy 2020-25. We value diverse feedback, and this most recent report reveals a series of very positive findings for ONR which helps to assure us that our independent regulation of Great Britain's nuclear industry remains well regarded. Of course, there are areas for improvement, and we have committed to renewed focus on matters flagged as important by many of you, such as sharing more about how we are enabling innovation. You will find more on this topic in this newsletter as we update you about our latest expert panel on the regulation of artificial intelligence (AI) in the nuclear industry. Elsewhere in the newsletter, we were pleased to have a presence at the recent Nuclear Decommissioning Authority's (NDA) annual stakeholder summit in Scotland to hear about their ongoing work cleaning up the UK's civil nuclear sites, as we continue to work constructively with them, and other licensees, while holding the industry to account in a transparent manner. Like so many in Britain and across the world, we were saddened to hear of the death of Her Majesty The Queen, earlier this month, and during the national period of mourning, we paused our own external communication activities, along with government departments and other arm's length bodies, as a mark of respect. As always, if you have any comments about ONR, any of the topics included in this newsletter, or our work in general, please get in touch via contact@onr.gov.uk Best wishes Katie Day
