MEPC Birchwood Park is proud to announce the continuation of its nuclear heritage with the news that occupier National Nuclear Laboratory (NNL) has been awarded a major contract by Dounreay Site Restoration Limited (DSRL).
NNL is to process a number of tonnes of uranium carbide fuel, currently held at the Dounreay site. The fuel will be converted into oxide form for long term storage before fuel facilities at the site are shut down.
NNL's Business Leader for Waste Management Technology, Myrian Wood, signed the contract, which, at around £750,000, represents NNL's biggest single piece of work for DSRL.
NNL has over 10,000 person-years of nuclear industry experience across the whole nuclear fuel cycle and provides the experts and technologies to ensure the UK nuclear industry operates safely and cost effectively today and for the future. The company has also provided support and services to the UK and other Governments and to the European Union.
NNL's Waste Management and Decommissioning Director, Nick Hanigan, said: "This is excellent news for NNL, as Dounreay is the second largest decommissioning market in the UK. We are pleased to have the opportunity to work with DRSL in this way and hope to have further discussions on other ways in which we can help them meet the challenges of accelerating the site's decommissioning programme."
This is fantastic news for Birchwood Park, which is based at the former home of the Atomic Energy Authority and has a strong nuclear heritage. The team is committed to providing a high quality experience for their occupiers to grow and develop their respective businesses.
