Projects
Successful project delivery is vital to delivering world class operations and accelerating high hazard risk reduction at Sellafield.
We strive to deliver projects safely, ahead of schedule, delivering best value for the UK tax payer. In order to decommission the legacy facilities at the Sellafield site it is often necessary to construct new facilities.
Associated with the top high hazard decommissioning projects underway at Sellafield, we are constructing a number of new plants associated with the delivery of this mission…
Sludge Packaging Plant (SPP1)
The Sludge Packaging Plant consists of two major projects which will hydraulically receive legacy sludge from the First Generation Magnox Storage Pond and process it into a product suitable for long term storage or disposal.

Encapsulated Product Store 3
The Encapsulated Product Store 3 (EPS3) will be the new Intermediate Level Waste (ILW) store, providing additional capacity to support the two existing stores. The store will take ILW arising from both reprocessing operations and Clean-up work on site.

Construction of Evaporator D
Construction of Evaporator D, a new Highly Active (HA) Liquid Evaporator will provide additional evaporator capacity to support the sites existing evaporators. The design for Evaporator D is based around the fabrication of large modules at an off-site facility.

UK Radioactive Waste Returns Programme
Overseas used nuclear fuel has been reprocessed in the UK, under contract, to recover and separate the 97% of reusable nuclear materials from the 3% waste.

Separation Area Ventilation Project
There is a requirement to produce a new discharge capability for aerial effluents from the Separation Area on the Sellafield site as the two existing stacks are nearing the end of their effective operational lives.
