Dounreay was once the UK’s centre of fast reactor research. The contracts will take work at the site, delivered on behalf of the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA), into a new phase when historic wastes from the shaft, silo and low-level waste pits are due to be retrieved, repackaged and consigned to new waste facilities. The decommissioning services framework, which is potentially worth up to £400m, is initially for up to four years with the possibility of extensions of up to an additional three years.
DSRL head of commercial services Stephen Adamson said: “This agreement will deliver real and visible signs of progress towards achieving our mission. It is about forming long-term partnerships so that the successful companies can work alongside our own Dounreay staff, ensuring a first-class team combining the best site skills and experience with the wider industry knowledge and innovation that the supply chain can offer.”
