Urenco Nuclear Stewardship collaboration with Harwell
02 December 2021
In October 2021 Urenco Nuclear Stewardship took the last delivery of drums from Magnox’s Harwell site as part of a wider Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) project to consolidate material from across the NDA estate.
A total of 57 drums have now been accepted into long term storage at Capenhurst. The initial delivery of Harwell drums to Urenco Nuclear Stewardship at the Capenhurst site started on the 30 June 2021. From start to finish, this campaign has been completed safely and efficiently demonstrating good working practices across the team.
Commenting on the milestone, Carwyn Richards, Urenco Nuclear Stewardship Operations Manager said: “The execution of each Harwell delivery and subsequent activities were carefully carried out by the maintenance technicians.
“The outcome of this were 15 successful deliveries over a four month period. This was a great effort from those involved.”
