UK engineering firm appointed to deliver major decommissioning project at Dungeness A
What was announced
NRS has appointed UK supply-chain company Aureos to deliver the next major phase of decommissioning at Dungeness A in Kent, paving the way for the removal of some of the site’s largest remaining structures.
Key points, in the publisher's words
- Worth up to £190 million, the contract will help accelerate the safe decommissioning of the site, reduce long-term national risk and support British industry, skills and economic opportunities for local communities.
- The project will remove eight boiler units, each weighing around 800 tonnes, together with associated plant and infrastructure. It follows four years of enabling work to prepare the site for this complex phase of delivery.
- Rob Fletcher, Chief Executive Officer of NRS, said: “This is a landmark project for NRS and a major engineering challenge. By working closely with Aureos, our supply chain and regulators, we will explore new approaches in line with the recommendations of the Nuclear Regulatory Review to safely decommission our sites, deliver better value for taxpayer and maintain our unwavering commitment to safety.”
