EIC Newsbrief – Northern Region February 2013 EIC Newsbrief – Northern Region February 2013 Oil and Gas Fabricom Offshore Services plan to hire more than 200 staff A Tyneside oil and gas engineering services company is preparing to recruit hundreds of staff in the next few years and has opened its own apprentice academy to help reach its ambitions of adding £20m to sales. Fabricom Offshore Services has masterminded a training, learning and development set of programmes aimed at engineering graduates, apprentices and people looking to upgrade or diversify their skills. More than 30 people are already in various training programmes at the academy with another intake of around 12 expected this year. With offices in Newcastle, Teesside and Aberdeen, Fabricom created its academy to consolidate the company’s position for future growth. http://www.nebusiness.co.uk/business-news/latest-business-news//2013/01/31/fabricom-offshore-services-plans-to- hire-200-more-staff-51140-32715236/?campaign=Newcastle_email_nebusinessemail:20130131 Carbon Capture & Storage National Grid sets date for UK drilling test programme National Grid has signed an Agreement for Lease with the Crown Estates to enable the UK’s first carbon dioxide appraisal well to be drilled at a storage site in the southern North Sea, 70km off Flamborough Head in Yorkshire. The drilling will be the first ever offshore test of carbon dioxide storage potential in the UK and will start as early as May this year. The saline aquifer site which is about 1km below the sea bed will initially support carbon capture and storage projects in the Yorkshire and Humber region – currently the area of the UK that produces most CO2. "The appraisal drilling is the culmination of a three year work programme which has been largely funded by the EU and National Grid," said Jim Ward, Head of CCS at National Grid. "Our work to date has confirmed that the site is very large and capable of storing carbon dioxide from both power generation and industrial sources, including the Don Valley Power Project and the White Rose Project." http://www.carboncapturejournal.com/displaynews.php?NewsID=1099&PHPSESSID=l8dkjsha7qaa6s815mlrslvtq4 Energy from Waste Durham hands £112m waste contract to SITA UK Durham county council has awarded an eight year contract to waste management firm SITA UK to treat around 140,000 tonnes of residual household waste per annum. The announcement comes just two days after it emerged that council-owned Premier Waste Management, which currently holds the contract, is set to wind down in May. The residual waste treatment contract, which starts in June 2013 and is worth over £112.8 million, also has an option for a four year extension, which would take the overall value to £158.9 million. The bulk of the waste will be treated at SITA’s Teesside EfW facility which is currently under construction and is expected to be completed later this year, with waste set to be treated at other SITA facilities while the plant is completed. http://www.letsrecycle.com/news/latest-news/councils/durham-hands-ps112m-waste-contract-to-sita-uk Leeds Council approves two major waste plants Plans for two waste treatment plants in Leeds have been approved by the city council. The two incinerators will be built within a mile of each other. The first being developed by Veolia Environmental Services will burn household waste and is to be located at a site in Cross Green. The £125m energy from waste facility will be a largely glazed and timber frame building, which has been dubbed, the greenhouse. The 8-storey building will generate enough electricity for 20,000 houses. Works are expected to start at the end of this summer on a 36-month progarmme. http://www.constructionenquirer.com/2013/02/11/leeds-council-approves-two-major-waste-plants/ EIC Northern Region Tel: 01642 379972 Fax: 01642 379971 Email: [email protected] Web: www.the-eic.com EIC Newsbrief – Northern Region February 2013 Biogas North East Biogas energy project underway Construction is near to completion on an £8m renewable energy project that will use food waste to power 2,000 homes. Work on the County Durham-based anaerobic digestion (AD) facility is expected to end in March, and the site will start producing heat and energy from May 2013. Based at Emerald Biogas on Newton Aycliffe Industrial Estate, the site will be capable of producing 1.56 MW of electricity and processing 50,000 tonnes of food each year. The project will be the North East’s first commercial green energy plant, and will use the AD process to remove plastic, glass and metal traces from the food waste before it is sterilised and transferred to digestion tanks. http://bdaily.co.uk/environment/01-02-2013/north-east-biogas-energy-project-underway/#bulletin- 6ee07655b9ca4fa64cd6e8a748c6a091055e7f0c?utm_source=BulletinV1&utm_medium=content&utm_term=more+st ories&utm_campaign=North+East+biogas+energy+project+underway Renewables Blue Energy Swoops for RidgeWind Renewable energy investor Blue Energy today bought a wind farm developer with a plan to invest a total of £250m in bringing all of its projects to fruition. Blue Energy, which is based in Alderley Edge, Cheshire, has acquired RidgeWind from private equity investor HgCapital. Ridgewind owns two wind farm projects which are under construction and will be operational within two months. They are at Hall Farm, near Beverley, Yorkshire and Wandylaw farm, in Northumberland. It also has planning permission for further schemes at Beinneun, in Inverness-shire, Middlewick, in Essex, Nutsgrove, near Peterborough, and Grange, near Scunthorpe. RidgeWind was founded in 2003 in Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire, and bought by HgCapital in 2007. Blue Energy said it expects to invest £250m to acquire RidgeWind and build its development portfolio, and it plans further UK onshore acquisitions in 2013. http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/business/innovation/blue-energy-based-in-alderley-edge-1282199 Government delay is hitting Narec Wind farm bid The firm behind the UK's largest research and development project for the offshore wind industry says multi- million-pound wind farm projects in the North Sea could be thwarted by the Government's delayed Energy Bill. The National Renewable Energy Centre (Narec) has pioneered a £300m offshore demonstration project which, if approved, will see 15 giant turbines built in the sea off Northumberland. Narec submitted an application for the necessary Marine Management Organisation (MMO) approval in March last year for permission to construct the development. The application process is expected to be complete by the first quarter of the year and it is hoped that preparatory work on the construction phase will start this summer. http://www.nebusiness.co.uk/business-news/latest-business-news//2013/02/06/government-delay-is-hitting-narec- wind-farm-bid-51140-32752940/?campaign=Newcastle_email_nebusinessemail:20130206 EIC Northern Region Tel: 01642 379972 Fax: 01642 379971 Email: [email protected] Web: www.the-eic.com EIC Newsbrief – Northern Region February 2013 Nuclear Nuclear Plans thwarted after Cumbria vote No to underground store Ministers accept need for credible solution to waste storage as Ed Davey resumes mission to site £12bn waste repository. Plans to expand the UK's nuclear industry are in disarray after the only area to show interest in hosting an underground radioactive waste storage centre decided to thoroughly reject the idea. Cumbria county council's cabinet voted by more than 2-1 to pull out of feasibility studies, following expert critiques of the fractured local geology and an international outcry over the threat to the western Lake District. The decision is a major blow to government ambitions to build new nuclear power plants, with ministers accepting that the UK needs a credible and permanent solution to dealing with current and future waste. Green MP Caroline Lucas said the government's nuclear ambitions were now "completely derailed". http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2013/jan/30/nuclear-expansion-thwarted-cumbria- no?goback=%2Egde_2960508_member_210196523 New £5m technology centre will test most complex rope ever made Rope manufacturer Bridon International has opened a £5m technical facility at its Balby Carr Bank site in Doncaster. The Doncaster-headquartered firm said that its Bridon Technology Centre (BTC), which is due to be officially opened by Doncaster Central MP Rosie Winterton today, will design and test some of the largest ropes in the world. The centre is set to create five new skilled positions, and support the work of Bridon’s global production capability, including the Doncaster Wire Mill, where the company recently invested another £5m in hi-tech equipment upgrades. Bridon chief executive Jon Templeman said: “BTC will be a hi-tech hub for next generation rope development, where the finest minds in rope technology use sophisticated testing equipment to validate the designs of the largest and most complex ropes ever made. http://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/business/business-news/new-5m-technology-centre-will-test-most-complex-ropes- ever-made-1-5390437 NES Global Talent aims for £100m profit Manpower firm NES Global Talent today set its sights on achieving profits of £100m by 2020 as it announced its eighth consecutive year of growth. NES, which is based in Altrincham, unveiled adjusted underlying pre-tax profits of £24.3m for the year to October, up 45 per cent from £16.8m, after what chief executive Neil Tregarthen described as 'the most exciting year' in the company's history. Revenues surged nearly 30 per cent from £380.2m to £492.4m. The company, which supplies technical and engineering staff on permanent and temporary contracts to the oil, gas, infrastructure, rail, power, life sciences and IT sectors, was sold by private equity outfit Graphite to AEA Investors, an American investor, for £234m in October. The firm opened offices in Denver, Darwin and Melbourne which took the number of its branches to 32 across 21 countries, with a workforce of 439, up by a almost quarter from 352 a year earlier.

With the likes of Richard Attenborough or Jeremy Vine, Hawking rose to the status of documentary voice and British national public treasure. He also helped build bridges between science and the British public both through books and documentaries. The latter in particular have held a place of pride in the popularising techniques regarding the sometimes-esoteric world of natural or experimental sciences. As a television sub-genre, documentaries are distinct from news-providing or fiction programmes but borrow elements from both. For Bill Nichols, “The appearance of documentary involves the combination of three pre- existing elements--photographic realism, narrative structure, and modernist fragmentation—along with a new emphasis on the rhetoric of social persuasion.”1 It means that a documentary is based on chronicling the “real” through images and sounds, mostly with an activist intent.

  • Sellafield What to Do in a Radiation Emergency Booklet
    WHAT TO DO IN AN Emergency At Sellafield This information is prepared for everyone within the Detailed Emergency Planning Zone and the Inner Emergency Planning Zone for the Sellafield Site. EMERGENCY INFORMATION Listen to local radio. Monitor social media platforms. Dial the Sellafield Emergency Information Line on 29th September 2021 It is important that you study this booklet carefully and keep it in a safe and prominent place. WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY Introduction • This booklet gives advice on what to do in the event of an emergency at the Sellafield Site. • Sellafield is Europe’s largest single nuclear site and stores and handles industrial size quantities of radioactive material. Although unlikely, an emergency could occur involving material being stored and processed on the Site. In addition, Sellafield also holds a large inventory of other hazardous substances and again although unlikely an emergency could occur involving the chemicals being utilised on the Site. • It must be stressed that the possibility of such emergencies occurring is remote and that the design and operation of all plants on the site are independently monitored by the Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR), Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and Environment Agency (EA). • Current assessments of the radiological hazards indicate that areas between 6.1km & 8km from the centre of the Sellafield Site could be the most likely areas to be directly affected during and following a radiation emergency, this area is referred to as the Detailed Emergency Planning Zone (DEPZ). To see its geographical extent please see map A (pg13) & C (pg20). • In addition, other assessments of the chemical hazards indicate that an area up to 2km from the centre of the Sellafield Site could be the most likely area to be directly affected during and following a chemical emergency, this area is referred to as the Inner Emergency Planning Zone (IEPZ).

  • 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.
