Key findings, inspector's opinions and reasons for judgement made
I, the Site Inspector for the Spent Fuel Services Operating Unit at the Sellafield Site in Cumbria, undertook an LC17 (Management systems) inspection covering assurance arrangements for operations undertaken at Spent Fuel Services' facilities. The inspection followed on from a corporate inspection (IR-53288) undertaken in October 2024, with the aim of seeking assurance that Spent Fuel Services has implemented the corporate assurance arrangements. This inspection focused on Line 1 ('in the line') activities only. I found that Spent Fuel Services has implemented the corporate arrangements to assure the Management systems' arrangements made under the requirements of LC17 and consequently rate this inspection as Green (no further action).
Conclusion
I am satisfied that SFS has implemented the corporate assurance arrangements for LC17 and rate this inspection as Green.
