The company, a subsidiary of the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA), is responsible for the 100-year programme to clean up the Sellafield nuclear site, in Cumbria.
Our Annual Review of Performance 2018/19 details a year of achievement in the hazard and risk reduction programme at the UK’s largest and most complex nuclear site.
Highlights include:
- completing reprocessing in Thorp and making progress to safely conclude Magnox reprocessing
- getting our 2 legacy waste facilities ready for retrievals - this means that in 2019/20 we will be removing waste and sludge from all 4 of our legacy ponds and silos
- awarding a 20-year contract to bring in Project and Programme Partners to help us deliver mission-critical capital projects at Sellafield
- changing the Sellafield skyline, bringing a redundant ventilation stack to a height where it no longer poses a risk to the surrounding buildings, and starting to demolish the diffuser at the top of the Windscale Pile Chimney
