Nuclear watchdogs are to lift a warning of legal action against the UK’s nuclear submarine refit base following safety improvements. The Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR) issued an improvement notice to Devonport in December 2014 after a worker received a dose of radiation. The ONR said the dose was “very small” but it “highlighted shortfalls” in safety standards at the yard. The regulator said the notice would be lifted “at the end of this week”.
