Another Consultation - Storage of Overseas Origin Oxide Fuels


This consultation sets out proposals which would allow the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) to manage, by means of interim storage and disposal, any small quantities of overseas origin oxide fuels that cannot be reprocessed or are not economic to reprocess in the Thermal Oxide Reprocessing Plant (THORP) at Sellafield before it closes in 2018.

This approach would permit the NDA to close out the remaining overseas contracts in a cost-effective and timely way, providing more certainty over the future plans for THORP and for the future decommissioning of the Dounreay licensed site.

The consultation can be found here:

Kind regards,
