Reduce GDA application timelines through international collaboration and recognise partner country safety approvals

Recommendation
The Government should consider how it could reduce the GDA application timelines and the required resources through international collaborations between regulators, and should provide access to pre-engagement for new nuclear developers prior to Delivering nuclear power 107 entering the GDA. The ONR should examine ways to recognize, in whole or part, safety approvals for mature reactor designs granted by partner countries with similarly high standards to capitalise on work previously done.
