皇冠体育app NDA鈥檚 total spend in 2016/17 was 拢3.2 billion, with over 拢1 billion in revenue being generated through commercial activity.
David Peattie, Chief Executive Officer of the NDA, said:
This has been one of the NDA鈥檚 most challenging years, but also one in which significant progress was made in cleaning up the UK鈥檚 17 oldest nuclear sites.
Despite 拢100 million in legal and settlement costs arising from the Magnox litigation, the NDA has stayed within its allocated budget of 拢3.3bn.
皇冠体育app NDA鈥檚 decision to make Sellafield Ltd a wholly owned subsidiary is delivering increased value for the UK taxpayer, with over 拢200 million in savings made in 2016/17 at the Sellafield site.
Significant progress has been made in nuclear decommissioning across the UK. At Europe鈥檚 largest and most complex nuclear site, Sellafield, contaminated waste is being removed from some of the oldest facilities and treated, packaged and safely stored.
Meanwhile, one of the Magnox sites, Bradwell in Essex, is close to becoming the first nuclear site in the UK to complete all its near-term decommissioning and enter into a 鈥楥are and Maintenance鈥� phase.
皇冠体育app report, which is the first since David Peattie became CEO in March 2017, also highlighted a number of areas for concern including aspects of safety performance which need to improve to meet the high standards of performance the NDA expects.
