In determining future options for optimisation, the following key areas will require critical analysis: a. Existing formal and informal processes for delivery integration/collaboration; b. Existing specialism integration and collaboration; c. The number and breadth of specialisations within CNSS; d. CNSS' current capacity and capability to conduct assessments against the Fundamental Security Principles; e. CNSS' future capacity and capability to conduct assessments against Nuclear Material Accountancy and Control Plans; f. The effectiveness of current governance measures in CNSS; g. The existing models within ONR for managing staff; h. CNSS' ability to respond to a significant security event; i. CNSS' role in vetting across the nuclear industry; and j. CNSS' international obligations and extended stakeholder engagement. Conducting the above analysis will be facilitated through access to the relevant ONR policy, procedures and plans, along with structured interviews with up to 20 key stakeholders.
