Amec FW wins nuclear decommissioning role
16 Apr 2015
The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) has awarded Amec Foster Wheeler a contract to provide decommissioning and waste management services for sites across the UK.
The four-year deal, announced by Amec Foster Wheeler today, will increase the range of services the company currently provides to the NDA.
The contract, for which no value has been announced, is to provide an extensive range of nuclear services in decommissioning, waste management and site characterisation across NDA UK nuclear sites.
Amec Foster Wheeler will work on all of the seven technical sectors in the contract, including providing services to support:
- site characterisation, engineering design and delivery of the UK geological disposal facility
- Low Level Waste Repositories in West Cumbria (England) and Dounreay (Scotland)
- research reactor sites at Harwell and Winfrith
- decommissioning and radioactive waste management services
- engineering design and technical support for the NDA’s decommissioning programme
- safety case management
- laboratory and experimental research
- and environmental assessment
The deal follows Amec Foster Wheeler losing its role as part of the company running the decommissioning of Sellafield earlier this year.
