Details
There has been significant progress in delivering our mission of decommissioning, hazard reduction and clean-up and we have ensured spending remains below the annual limit set by the government.
All Magnox sites have been declared fuel free, after the Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR) gave its official ‘fuel-free verification’ to Wylfa in October 2019. This marked the end of defueling operations at the UK’s 26 Magnox reactors.
All separated plutonium has been successfully transported from Dounreay to Sellafield for storage.
The first concrete was poured on a £1bn custom-built facility at Sellafield to repackage the plutonium materials for safe and secure long-term storage.
During the year, the NDA has also taken a series of important steps to strengthen and simplify the way the group is organised.
We have increased the number of subsidiaries by completing the transition of Magnox ltd from a PBO contract to an NDA subsidiary. We have improved the capability of the NDA Corporate Centre and made significant improvements in the areas of equality, diversity and inclusion.
Safety is, and always will be, our number one priority. Our focus is to reduce the highest hazards and risks, while ensuring safe, secure and environmentally responsible operations at our sites.
