Top award for regulator training

The Sellafield Ltd awareness induction for new inspectors won the ‘training and development’ category in the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE) Global Awards 2020.

The induction, which covers the whole of the nuclear industry, is delivered by Sellafield Ltd employees to inspectors from the Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR) and Environment Agency, alongside input from across the nuclear sector.

The course was submitted to the awards as a joint entry by Sellafield Ltd and the ONR, and was announced as winner at a virtual event this week.

Sellafield Ltd, chief process engineer, Elisabeth Cooke said:

The work we did on the course has already been acknowledged by the ONR and won a Sellafield Ltd employee team award.

I’m delighted that the entry won as it provides recognition to the whole team – made up of those from Sellafield Ltd and their colleagues across the UK Nuclear sector.

The contributors to this course have demonstrated all of our expected behaviours whilst doing their bit to create a safe environment for future generations. I’m very proud to have been associated with such a dedicated group of nuclear professionals.
