A £2.4m contract has been awarded to support the post-operational cleanout of redundant facilities at Sellafield.
Cavendish Nuclear has been awarded the contract to deliver Radiometric Characterisation Services (RCS) for the next three years to ensure Sellafield Ltd can transition from operations to surveillance and maintenance, and eventually decommissioning, in the safest, most effective way.
The partnership will help Sellafield to drive on with safer and faster decommissioning.
The supply chain partners comprise Nuvia, Createc, Viridian Consultants, South West Nuclear Hub, Parajito
Scientific Corporation and Orano.
Peter Clark, Cavendish Nuclear products and services senior business manager, said “This is a great opportunity to demonstrate the range of characterisation services available to accelerate decommissioning for both Sellafield Ltd and the wider Nuclear Decommissioning Authority group.
“Working in partnership with Sellafield Ltd and our supply chain partners, we will deliver technical and service delivery innovations to meet Sellafield’s complex and unique characterisation challenges.”
The RCS contract is a replacement for the Sellafield Ltd Radiometric Specialist Measurements Framework,
which Cavendish Nuclear has been a framework holder of since it was first completed in 2006.
