Nuclear Decommissioning Authority
Details
The Epidemiology Governance Group of the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) and the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) exists to provide independent governance and oversight of epidemiology and radiobiology work undertaken in relation to the ex-BNFL and ex-UKAEA radiation worker cohorts, ensuring that appropriate ethical approval is in place before granting use of the research assets.
The Governance Group membership includes representatives of the NDA and UKHSA, data custodians, representatives of both the management and workforces with responsibility (or legacy responsibility) for members of the study cohorts, and an independent chair. The trade union representatives are from GMB, Prospect and UNITE.
This annual report contains a summary of the 2022 to 2023 activity in relation to work governed by the NDAUKHSA Epidemiology Governance Group.
