The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) is a non-departmental public body created through the Energy Act 2004. They are a strategic authority that owns 19 sites and the associated civil nuclear liabilities and assets of the public sector, previously under the control of United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) and British Nuclear Fuels Ltd (BNFL).

Their mission is to deliver safe, sustainable and publicly acceptable solutions to the challenge of nuclear clean-up and waste management. This means never compromising on safety, or security, taking full account of the social and environmental responsibilities, always seeking value for money for the tax payer, and actively engaging with stakeholders.

Sellafield Ltd is the company responsible for safely delivering decommissioning of the UK’s nuclear legacy as well as fuel recycling and the management of low, high and intermediate level nuclear waste activities on behalf of the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority.

Sellafield Ltd has sites at Sellafield in West Cumbria and engineering, design and functional support capability are  provided by employees based at our Risley office, near Warrington.

Under the ownership of Nuclear Management Partners (NMP), we are safely delivering nuclear decommissioning, waste management and commercial operations and by continually raising our performance we will achieve the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority’s (NDA) vision to become the site and workforce of choice for potential new missions.

Nuclear Management Partners (NMP) brings together the global nuclear experience of American company URS, British company AMEC and French company Areva to deliver the safe acceleration of hazard and risk reduction across Sellafield Ltd.

As the Parent Body Organisation for Sellafield Ltd, the NMP consortium is managing and operating the Sellafield site in West Cumbria and the engineering design capability based at Risley in Warrington.

The Nuclear Management Partners mission is being delivered under the leadership of a team with proven ability and expertise. They are working together with both Sellafield Ltd and the site owners, the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority; to make Sellafield cleaner, safer, more productive, more cost effective and a better neighbour.
