for the treatment of radioactive waste to the following
suppliers:

The scope of the new framework is to provide expertise
across the full metallic radioactive waste lifecycle

characterisation, site preparations, dismantling,
transport, segregation, treatment, and disposal.
LLWR has more than 10 years’ experience of successfully
working with nuclear industry customers to deliver
solutions across the radioactive waste lifecycle and
provide access to the full range of treatment, logistics,
and disposal techniques and technology in the UK, Europe,
and globally.
David Rossiter, Head of Waste Management Services for LLWR,
said: “This new framework increases the capability
available to our customers. It enables the Nuclear
Decommissioning Authority group, and wider UK nuclear
industry, to access the full range of world-class
capability required to effectively deal with the UK’s
nuclear legacy and enhances value for money for the
taxpayer. I am very pleased with the breadth of expertise
and the calibre of supply chain companies available under
this new framework”.
LLWR is leading the implementation of the UK Government
strategy for the management of solid low level radioactive
waste from the nuclear industry and enabling the delivery
of the NDA’s strategy for hazard reduction and site
restoration. LLWR has been involved in several
ground-breaking projects, supporting customers by providing
innovative waste management solutions.
At the heart of LLWR’s mission, to manage all lower
activity wastes arising from the NDA’s decommissioning
programme, is the provision of treatment and disposal
services that provide alternatives to disposal and preserve
the capacity at the Low Level Waste Repository.
Since 2010, LLWR has recycled over 12,000 tonnes of metal
and contributed to significant skyline changes across the
nuclear industry and cost savings of £30 million. Safely
recycling radioactive metal is a proven technique
contributing towards the sustainability objectives of the
nuclear industry - already reducing its carbon footprint by
over 40,000 tonnes of CO2 to date.
