Socio-economic case studies
Examples of projects that are supported by the NDA group socio-economic programme.
As a responsible organisation and under a legal obligation in the Energy Act (2014), the NDA takes due regard of the impact of its activities in the communities around its sites.
The NDA group socio-economic funding is intended to help local communities who are or will be impacted by the changing levels of economic activity at our sites. If local communities are particularly reliant on nuclear sites, we work with local partners to help develop alternative economic opportunities.
We also fund projects that develop local skills and help businesses take advantage of the economic opportunities from decommissioning. Funding is allocated based on an assessment of local needs and on the basis of a competitive process of projects and organisations meeting local needs.
The case studies in this collection are examples of such projects.
