# The Sizewell C (Nuclear Generating Station) Order 2022, Paragraph 7: Retained apparatus: protection


(1) Not less than 28 days before starting the execution of any authorised works authorised by this Order that are near to, or will or may affect, or where construction access is to be taken over, any apparatus the removal of which has not been required by the undertaker under paragraph 5(2), the undertaker must submit to the statutory undertaker in question a plan, section and description of the works to be executed.
(2) Those works must be executed only in accordance with the plan, section and description submitted under paragraph 7(1) and in accordance with such reasonable requirements as may be made in accordance with paragraph 7(3) by the statutory undertaker for the alteration or otherwise for the protection of the apparatus, or for securing access to it, and the statutory undertaker is entitled to watch and inspect the execution of those works.
(3) Any requirements made by a statutory undertaker under paragraph 7(2) must be made within a period of 21 days beginning with the date on which a plan, section and description under sub-paragraph (1) are submitted to it.
(4) If a statutory undertaker in accordance with paragraph 7(3) and in consequence of the works proposed by the undertaker, reasonably requires the removal of any apparatus and gives written notice to the undertaker of that requirement, paragraph 5 applies as if the removal of the apparatus had been required by the undertaker under sub-paragraph (2) of that paragraph.
(5) Nothing in this paragraph precludes the undertaker from submitting at any time or from time to time, but in no case less than 28 days before commencing the execution of any works, a new plan, section and description instead of the plan, section and description previously submitted, and having done so the provisions of this paragraph apply to and in respect of the new plan, section and description.
(6) The undertaker is not required to comply with paragraph 7(2) in a case of emergency but in that case it must give to the statutory undertaker in question notice as soon as is reasonably practicable and a plan, section and description of those works as soon as reasonably practicable subsequently and must comply with paragraph 7(2) in so far as is reasonably practicable in the circumstances.
