Westinghouse Electric Company announced Wednesday that it had been selected by Sellafield Ltd. to conduct decommissioning activities under two separate Decommissioning Framework Agreements, as part of two consortia, deemed Framework partners by Sellafield Ltd.
Both agreements are 10-year frameworks with intent for safely conducting decommissioning activities. One is part of the Cumbria Nuclear Solutions Ltd. Consortium for the Decommissioning Delivery Partnership (DDP) Lot 1. The second is part of The Decommissioning Alliance (TDA) consortium for DDP Lot 2.
Westinghouse is one of six companies comprising the CNSL consortium for DDP Lot 1, along with James Fisher Nuclear, React Engineering, Shepley Engineers, Jacobs Stobbarts and WYG Engineering. It is one of three companies comprising the TDA consortium for DDP Lot 2, along with Energy Solutions and Jacobs.
The contracts build on previous relationships at the site. Westinghouse has already been involved in hazard and risk reduction at the First Generation Magnox Storage Pond at Sellafield.
“We are looking forward to working in a collaborative partnership with Sellafield Ltd to further apply CNSL’s broad capabilities and experience to help safely deliver Sellafield’s decommissioning program,” said Andy Lund, CNSL director and Westinghouse account manager for the UK and Middle East.
Westinghouse head of UK Decommissioning, Decontamination and Waste Management John Kipling said the service commitments would be delivered by Westinghouse in West Cumbria with support from the wider Westinghouse UK teams based at Springfields and Chorley.
