Following the announcement of a pilot programme leading to accreditation of applicants involved in performing inspection of components supplied to new nuclear power plants or those who perform in-service inspection in existing nuclear power plants, UKAS has announced its first accreditation.
Following an 18 month pilot assessment programme Lloyds Register Apave Ltd was accredited on 2 April 2014 for design verification and inspection of new products and modifications of nuclear island components, associated controls and safety systems.
