Submarine Reactors. The licensing requirements of the NIA do not apply to the use of a site for activities involving nuclear reactors “comprised in a means of transport” (see Section 1(1)(a) of the NIA). This is interpreted as exempting from licensing requirements only activities involving “completed” nuclear reactors4 operating or under commissioning in a submarine. For such activities HSWA, IRR and REPPIR apply as detailed in this annex.
