Power system fundamentals
Power systems are complex; yet they must be designed and operated safely, securely and economically. We introduce a number of high-level concepts which are important to provide context, whilst resisting deep technical detail, mindful that in the future, highly technical aspects such as voltage control, frequency response and power quality are expected to require active management to permit the transmission system to operate as it is intended.
This paper reviews and discusses various literature relevant to the topic of transmission system development in a low-carbon energy system. It contains an overview of power system operability, an explanation of some key terms, and some examples from Great Britain. In particular, in relation to operation as part of a highly renewable electricity syst

Protection of people and the environment from the harmful effects of radiation, by S Gillett and G Thwaites
Nuclear energy brings benefits but also poses risks to the health and safety of people and to the environment. The objectives of international nuclear safety law are to provide a legal framework for conducting activities relating to nuclear energy while meeting the Fundamental Safety Objective: the protection of people and the environment from harmful effects of ionizing radiation; and to recognize and address international and national liability issues associated with nuclear operations.
This article discusses the role, characteristics and authority of international nuclear safety law and its implementation within the UK, in relation to the responsibility for safety, and the provision of an effective compensation framework.

An efficient and effective nuclear security regulator
Global security is a growing political concern. Advances in cyber technology, increasing numbers of reports of violent fanaticism, and a rise in the prominence of non-state actors, have all contributed to an unsettling of the traditional view of security provision. Governments must reduce the burdens of their regulatory frameworks, by making them more efficient and effective.
This report provides an overview of nuclear security and safeguards legislation, and explores related international guidance, concluding that in order to hold industry to account, regulators must: strike a balance in their approach to internal and external relationships; carry out their regulation on a national assessment of threat; and do both of these through an established, agile, framework of law and regulation.
