New national capability to manage the UK’s radioactive waste
Today’s launch of Nuclear Waste Services brings together into one organisation the long-established expertise of site operator Low Level Waste Repository Limited, Geological Disposal Facility (GDF) developer Radioactive Waste Management Limited and the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) group’s Integrated Waste Management Programme.
This business will maintain its current commitments to the Low Level Waste Repository and to the GDF programme and the communities involved with both. It also creates a business with new capability to manage UK nuclear waste safely and securely for generations to come.
Nuclear Waste Services will build on work delivered over many decades, while adding more essential services for customers in the nuclear energy, defence, industrial, medical, and research sectors.
Nuclear Waste Services will be led by Chief Executive Officer Corhyn Parr, formerly NDA’s Director of Integrated Waste, and Board Chair Adriènne Kelbie.
Corhyn Parr said:
NDA announced its decision to create the new business at the start of 2021, as part of wider moves to simplify structures across the group and enhance capabilities. NDA is responsible for the management, decommissioning and clean-up of 17 nuclear sites across the country.
Nuclear Waste Services will oversee the group’s integrated waste programme.
NDA group Chief Executive Officer David Peattie added:
The Nuclear Waste Services portfolio includes:
“Nuclear Waste Services” is a trading name of LLW Repository Ltd and Radioactive Waste Management Ltd.
