NNB Generation Company Limited was set up in 2009 to carry out the safe design, construction and operation of four EPR in the UK. While the EPR design is new to the UK, it is based on tried, tested and proven technology through over 30 years of safe and successful operation of similar designs in France. As part of the EDF Group, we are uniquely able to make full use of the vast experience gained from the design, construction and operation of these stations. This Management Prospectus and its associated dossier will underpin the ability of NNB Generation Company Limited to hold, manage and operate to a Nuclear Site Licence, an environmental permit and other arrangements with regulators thereby fulfilling its obligation with regard to Safety, Environment, Security, Health, and Quality. NNB Generation Company Limited through its Directors and Managers, together with its shareholders EDF Energy and Centrica, understands its obligations under the Nuclear Installations Act 1965 (as amended) and Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2010, as well as its fundamental duties under other legislation including the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, Environmental Protection Act 1990, Environment Act 1995, the extensive regulations made under these and other environmental, safety, health and security statute. The Directors of NNB Generation Company Limited understand and accept both their absolute obligations under the nuclear licence and environmental permitting as well their more general duty to ensure the health, safety and welfare at work of its employees and the public. This Management Prospectus and its associated dossier set down the corporate governance, assurance and management system arrangements in place to ensure compliance with nuclear licensing and environmental permitting at Hinkley Point C. It also covers arrangements for complying with other environmental, safety, security and health requirements. In carrying out our mission, we are committed to our work being undertaken in ways that are safe and secure, transparent and environmentally responsible. Finally, the events at the Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan remind us all of the hazards associated with nuclear power generation, my management team and I are aware of both our personal, moral and legal duties for the protection of people and the environment. We will lead by example and encourage and support behaviours to deliver a culture where safety and care for the environment underpins all we do.
