The CoRWM Engagement Liaison Group was established to aid communication between nuclear stakeholder dialogues, such that each could take into account the plans of the others when developing engagement programmes, and exchange information about good practices. CIRIA attended the Engagement Liaison Group meetings representing SD:SPUR and SAFEGROUNDS Learning Networks. This group is no longer convened by CoRWM (see below).

This Engagement Liaison Group was originally convened by CoRWM, but closed when CoRWM provided its main recommendations to Government in July 2006. In April 2007, the NDA judged it was appropriate to reconvene the group, given the volume and complexity of stakeholder engagement work in the UK nuclear sector at the time.
The liaison group aims to enable better coordination between national stakeholder engagement processes in the UK nuclear sector. It meets approximately 3-4 times a year in London and meeting reports are posted on the NDA website. CIRIA represents the SD:SPUR and SAFEGROUNDS Learning Networks at these meetings.

The NDA established a National Stakeholder Group (NSG) to enable stakeholders to explore issues and submit proposals for consideration by the NDA. NSG participants are from national and international organisations, Site Stakeholder Groups and NDA. CIRIA represents the SD:SPUR and SAFEGROUNDS Learning Networks at the NSG.
The NSG met for the first time in October 2005 and meets twice a year. Further information about the NSG, including summary reports from the meetings, is available on the NDA website at www.nda.gov.uk/stakeholders/nsg/
The NDA Waste Issues Group (WIG) was set up as a working group of the National Stakeholder Group (NSG) to identify and discuss specific waste management issues and to report back to the NSG. Its purpose was to continuously challenge and advise on Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) strategy and the annual plans by providing information and acting as a sounding board, with a view to influencing NDA thinking. CIRIA represents the SD:SPUR Learning Network on the WIG.
It is understood from the NDA and Convenor that they do not anticipate the WIG continuing with its current form and remit.

The SAPs consultation invited comments on HSE's draft revised Safety Assessment Principles until 31 May 2006. SAPs provide HSE’s nuclear installation inspectors with guidance on what they should look for when assessing a safety submission on topics relevant to meeting nuclear site licence conditions and when regulating the nuclear industry in general.
The 2006 revision of the Safety Assessment Principles (SAPS) has now been finalised and may be downloaded from the HSE website. Please follow this link.
