## Notice

ONR is seeking to engage one of the Technical Support Contractors (TSC) appointed on Lot 2 of its Technical Support Framework. TSC will need to develop an adequate understanding of the UK HPR1000 generic design and safety case. This will involve the TSC reviewing a sample of the RP's submissions which provide general UK HPR1000 design information and information most pertinent to the "radiological protection safety case". ONR will advise the successful TSC which documents to review to gain design familiarisation
