<p>The Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR) is the regulator for the nuclear industry in the United Kingdom. It is an independent <a href="/facts/Statutory_corporation/m1PDUvmp">statutory corporation</a> whose costs are met by charging fees to the nuclear industry. The ONR reports to the <a href="/facts/Department_for_Work_and_Pensions/QyEt8U45">Department for Work and Pensions</a>, although it also worked closely with the now-defunct <a href="/facts/Department_of_Energy_and_Climate_Change/uLDG61Ul">Department of Energy and Climate Change</a>. </p>
