Provision of a Personal Dosimetry Service (PDS)

ONR has responsibility for regulating safety and security at all UK nuclear licensed sites from three offices in the UK – Bootle, Cheltenham and London. ONR inspectors undertake inspections of all UK nuclear licensed sites, which provides for the potential exposure to a wide energy spectrum of ionising radiation. As a result, ONR is looking to manage the risks of exposure of its employees carrying out their duties. ONR will become a statutory body on the 01 April 2014. At this time the provision of personal dosimetry services will be managed directly by ONR.
