The leftover nuclear material from a Gloucestershire nuclear power station has been put into concrete storage boxes

Interested suppliers should have the capability to deliver value for the UK taxpayer while also maintaining the highest standards of safety and social value

Staff at Sellafield’s Magnox Reprocessing Plant have safely reprocessed the final box of spent fuel, marking the completion of a 10-year programme

The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority is working with Welsh development firm Cwmni Egino on proposals for the siting of the nuclear plant at NDA’s site in Trawsfynydd, north Wales

They will work on a mixed pile of non-radioactive waste, with the aim of proving they can increase recycling rates, reduce the number of waste containers sent for disposal and reduce the hazard to people and the environment

The company said it carried out a temporary ‘ramping up’ of the plant to finish processing some spent fuel that had remained while it was shut down

Potential technologies include robotics, sensors, artificial intelligence and autonomous systems

The Wylfa Site on Anglesey operated from 1972 until 2015 and generated 232TWh of electricity

All hazardous materials have been removed from the Magnox nuclear site, including the reactor buildings being defuelled, decommissioned and covered in weatherproof cladding

The private sector will be engaged through multiple smaller contracts rather than a single large parent body organisation
