We’ve established a firm foundation on which to build success in the longer term. The next few years will see us seeking to reap the benefits of the organisational and cultural improvements and the renewed stability in the NDA group. 2019/20 overview We entered the year introducing One NDA across the NDA group. One NDA is about working together more effectively and efficiently as a group, capitalising on its wealth of experience and talent, harnessing the opportunities that come from our scale and breadth. Embedding One NDA is strategically important and we’ve continued to make solid progress in our plans. In September 2019, we successfully transitioned the Magnox business into an NDA subsidiary, led by Chair Lawrie Haynes and CEO Gwen Parry-Jones OBE.

    小型飛翔体/海外 [Format 2] Technical Catalog Category Airborne contamination sensor Title Depth Evaluation of Entrained Products (DEEP) Proposed by Create Technologies Ltd & Costain Group PLC 1.DEEP is a sensor analysis software for analysing contamination. DEEP can distinguish between surface contamination and internal / absorbed contamination. The software measures contamination depth by analysing distortions in the gamma spectrum. The method can be applied to data gathered using any spectrometer. Because DEEP provides a means of discriminating surface contamination from other radiation sources, DEEP can be used to provide an estimate of surface contamination without physical sampling. DEEP is a real-time method which enables the user to generate a large number of rapid contamination assessments- this data is complementary to physical samples, providing a sound basis for extrapolation from point samples. It also helps identify anomalies enabling targeted sampling startegies. DEEP is compatible with small airborne spectrometer/ processor combinations, such as that proposed by the ARM-U project – please refer to the ARM-U proposal for more details of the air vehicle. Figure 1: DEEP system core components are small, light, low power and can be integrated via USB, serial or Ethernet interfaces. 小型飛翔体/海外 Figure 2: DEEP prototype software 2.Past experience (plants in Japan, overseas plant, applications in other industries, etc) Create technologies is a specialist R&D firm with a focus on imaging and sensing in the nuclear industry.

  • The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority Progress with Reducing Risk at Sellafield
    A picture of the National Audit Office logo Report by the Comptroller and Auditor General The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority: progress with reducing risk at Sellafield HC 1126 SESSION 2017–2019 20 JUNE 2018 Our vision is to help the nation spend wisely. Our public audit perspective helps Parliament hold government to account and improve public services. The National Audit Office scrutinises public spending for Parliament and is independent of government. The Comptroller and Auditor General (C&AG), Sir Amyas Morse KCB, is an Officer of the House of Commons and leads the NAO. The C&AG certifies the accounts of all government departments and many other public sector bodies. He has statutory authority to examine and report to Parliament on whether departments and the bodies they fund, nationally and locally, have used their resources efficiently, effectively, and with economy. The C&AG does this through a range of outputs including value-for-money reports on matters of public interest; investigations to establish the underlying facts in circumstances where concerns have been raised by others or observed through our wider work; landscape reviews to aid transparency; and good-practice guides. Our work ensures that those responsible for the use of public money are held to account and helps government to improve public services, leading to audited savings of £734 million in 2016. The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority: progress with reducing risk at Sellafield Report by the Comptroller and Auditor General Ordered by the House of Commons to be printed on 18 June 2018 This report has been prepared under Section 6 of the National Audit Act 1983 for presentation to the House of Commons in accordance with Section 9 of the Act Sir Amyas Morse KCB Comptroller and Auditor General National Audit Office 15 June 2018 HC 1126 | £10.00 This report examines the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority’s progress with reducing risk and hazard at its largest and most hazardous site, Sellafield.

  • Movement of Radioactive Material Sellafield Site
    Proceedings of the 18th International Symposium on the Packaging and Transportation of Radioactive Materials PATRAM 2016 September 18-23, 2016, Kobe, Japan Paper No. 3034 Movement of Radioactive Material Sellafield Site Maz Hussain Sellafield Ltd., United Kingdom. Abstract Background The UK nuclear decommissioning priority is to reduce risk and hazard and to deliver the clean-up mission cost effectively. This is particularly relevant at Sellafield where the Legacy Ponds and Silos pose the most significant challenges. The availability of safe packaging for the movement and storage on the Sellafield site is a key enabler to meet the NDA mission for safe interim storage ahead of its subsequent treatment, packaging and final storage to a Geologic Disposal Facility (GDF). There are a significant number of packages and package design types operating on the Sellafield site. Some packages are licensed to the IAEA regulations for safe transport and others comply only with the Sellafield site specific requirements. Introduction Packages to and from the Sellafield site need to comply with the IAEA regulations for safe transport and must meet the Sellafield site requirements. However, the IAEA regulations do not apply to packages within a licensed site. For on-site safe package operations compliance is required against Sellafield site specific procedures, standards and guidance. Package Management System There are a significant number and types of package transfers routinely undertaken safely on the Sellafield site. The packages range from small (18Kg) hand held sample castles to large complex (100Te) packages some with in-built gamma gates, mechanical interlocks and hoisting drive mechanisms. The Sellafield Package Management System (SPMS) efficiently manages package operations and includes for asset register, package tracking, operational history and maintenance.

    STRATEGIC NUCLEAR AND ENERGY BOARD 290421 Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) Update LEAD OFFICER: Pat Graham, Chief Executive Officer REPORT AUTHOR: Rob Ward, Nuclear Sector Manager Summary: This report provides an update on recent developments relating to the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority of relevance/note to Copeland Council, as follows: 1. Publication of the Holliday Report 2. Strategy 4 Update 3. One NDA Update 4. NDA Sustainability Report and Carbon Net Zero 5. New Sellafield Ltd Chair 6. New LLWR CEO 7. Magnox Reactor Decommissioning Strategy Recommendation: That members of the Board: 1. Note the information in this paper. 1. Publication of the Holliday Report 1.1. The final report of the Magnox Inquiry (known as the “Holliday Report”) was published on 4th March. 1.2. The Magnox Competition was a procurement exercise that commenced in 2012 and would appoint a single parent-body organisation (PBO) arrangement to manage and operate ten Magnox reactor sites and two research sites on behalf of the NDA. The exercise was implemented on the expectation that savings to the taxpayer would be generated. The contract had an estimated value of £6.2 billion. 1.3. In March 2014, the NDA announced the Cavendish-Fluor Partnership (CFP) as the preferred bidder. Subsequently, one of the unsuccessful bidders for the contract, Energy Solutions launched a claim to seek damages from the NDA. In 2016, the High Court found that the NDA had wrongly decided the outcome of the procurement process. In August 2016, Bechtel Management Company Ltd also issued a claim, leading to the NDA settling £85 million with Energy Solutions and £12.5 million with Bechtel.
