About Us
Nuclear Risk Insurers Limited (NRI) – (originally the British Insurance (Atomic Energy)
Committee - and British Nuclear Insurers) was established in 1956 by Insurance Companies
and Lloyd’s Underwriters to manage the Pools formed for the insurance of Public Liability
and Material Damage risks of nuclear installations. The change of structure and title to
"Nuclear Risk Insurers" (NRI) took place with effect from 1st October 2003.
The Insurance Companies and Lloyd’s Underwriters who support NRI Ltd have all signed a
Pool Membership agreement and have thus delegated their authority to NRI Ltd’s Board of
Directors. In turn the Board delegates some of its authority to the permanent staff of
NRI Ltd.
NRI Ltd is a company limited by guarantee, a business structure suited to non-profit
organisations. The member companies’ liability is limited to a prescribed amount and
all premiums received are remitted to the member companies. NRI Ltd therefore only
has to account for its running costs.
