3. (c)

   all adjustments and corrections that have been made in respect of inventory changes, book inventories and physical inventories.

Request, receipt and consideration of a special report in the case of an unusual occurrence, as described in regulation 17(1) or loss or delay during transport as described in regulation 23.

Request and consideration of further details or explanations in connection with a special report.

Receipt and consideration of a special report concerning F6a loss of qualifying nuclear material or a sudden change in containment conditions or anything that leads to an unusual occurrence.

Receipt and consideration of a statement of the causes of an unusual occurrence.

Receipt and consideration of a notification of the export of any qualifying nuclear material outside the United Kingdom where the consignment exceeds one effective kilogram or where a qualifying nuclear facility transfers a total quantity of materials to the same State that could exceed one effective kilogram in any consecutive period of twelve months, even though no single consignment exceeds one effective kilogram.

Consideration and agreement of special arrangements concerning the form and transmission of notifications under regulation 21(3), required for reasons of physical protection.

Receipt and consideration of a notification of the import of any qualifying nuclear material into the United Kingdom where the consignment exceeds one effective kilogram or where a qualifying nuclear facility transfers a total quantity of materials from the same State that could exceed one effective kilogram in any consecutive period of twelve months, even though no single consignment exceeds one effective kilogram.

Consideration and agreement of special arrangements concerning the form and transmission of the notification under regulation 22(3), required for reasons of physical protection.

For the purpose of ensuring compliance with the requirements of the Nuclear Safeguards Regulations—

1. (a)

   examination of the records kept by an operator in accordance with the requirements of the Nuclear Safeguards Regulations;

2. (b)

   the making of independent measurements of any qualifying nuclear material;

3. (c)

   the application and making use of surveillance and containment measures together with any other objective methods of monitoring which the ONR considers to be reasonable;

4. (d)

   the observation that samples of qualifying nuclear material at key measurement points for accounting purposes are taken in accordance with procedures which produce representative samples;

5. (e)

   the observation of the treatment and analysis of the samples and the obtaining of duplicates of such samples;

6. (f)

   the verification of the functioning and calibration of an operator’s instruments used to measure or control qualifying nuclear material, including observation of calibration activities and assessing whether the measurements of qualifying nuclear material at key measurement points are representative;

7. (g)

   making such observations or measurements necessary to verify the accuracy of F10design information and any changes to them declared under regulation 3 or 31. Writing to an operator to require the operator to—

   1. (a)
