Abstract
This Paper describes the NII's approach to the safety regulation of nu clear power stations. The standard licence provides a flexible yet pow erful regulatory tool which can be used for old or new plants. The emp hasis of the standard licence on safety management, the initiatives in relation to periodic safety reviews, radioactive waste strategy, deco mmissioning and staffing matters all reflect NII's awareness of the sa fety implications of an ageing programme.
