Resumo
This study examines nuclear regulation in the United Kingdom, focusing on
licensing processes for land facilities supporting nuclear-powered submarines. It
highlights the importance of these submarines for defense and maritime security, along
with the need for specialized infrastructure to operate them safely and effectively. The
study analyzes the UK’s procedures and regulations for nuclear licensing, with emphasis
on regulatory bodies such as the Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR) and the Defence
Nuclear Safety Regulator (DNSR). Results discuss the classification of nuclear facilities in
the UK, including those dedicated to submarines and nuclear defense, as well as the
applicable standards and guidelines for licensing these facilities. It is concluded that
nuclear regulation in the UK is robust and transparent, providing a solid foundation for
licensing facilities supporting nuclear-powered submarines. The adoption of these
standards as a reference in Brazil could significantly contribute to establishing a solid and
secure regulatory framework for such facilities.
