The Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR) operates as the United Kingdom's independent regulator for nuclear safety and security, overseeing 35 licensed sites and related transport and safeguards obligations. Its core remit is to ensure that nuclear hazards are controlled effectively, encourage continuous improvement, and uphold high standards across the industry. Headquartered in London, ONR serves within the public safety sector and also oversees decommissioning and international collaboration on safety and security issues. As the nuclear sector evolves rapidly, ONR's role is to verify that new facilities are designed, built and operated to rigorous standards and to maintain public confidence without compromising safety or security. It collaborates with international regulators and supports related research as part of its oversight responsibilities. In 2025-26 ONR released its Corporate Plan, highlighting a greater use of digital tools and increased transparency.
