Nuclear Decommissioning Authority

Thanks to @BBC_Cumbria for an excellent feature on our colleague Jez Gilmour, covering his fascinating career in the nuclear industry - from working on major projects at Sellafield, through to joining the NDA and helping to shape our organisation from our first day back in 2005.

Our next newsletter is out next week, with all the latest news on our robotics deployment at nuclear decommissioning sites, as well what we’ve been doing to support the local community near RAICo1 in Cumbria. Don’t want to miss out? Sign up here: mailchi.mp/58ad7b199fdf/b…

This is a fantastic example of using robotic technologies to reduce risks, eliminate manual handling hazards and enhance efficiency. The demonstrator project has shown the real potential of the technology to be transferred more widely across the NDA group.

From atoms to ambitions @Nuclear_WS leads hands-on STEM outreach nuclearwasteservices.uk/2025/07/from-a…

You may have already read about it in @W_Nuclear_News, but here’s our version of our recent success story - creating a simulation of a @SellafieldLtd waste handling robot: raico.org/a-simulation-o…

Today, we have published our Annual Report and Accounts 2024/25. It sets out the progress we’re making against our mission, from safely decommissioning existing sites to managing radioactive waste for our existing programme and new nuclear. Read more at gov.uk/government/pub…

In partnership with our IT supplier Atos and ISO, we’re repurposing decommissioned laptops for education and community development. Thanks to our social impact team and partnerships with the WELL project and Laptops for Kids in Warrington. gov.uk/government/new…

Exciting to see so much happening the field of robotics for nuclear decommissioning. @NDAgovuk has just announced a project that will see it collaborate with @NRServicesUK, @SellafieldLtd & @Nuclear_WS to remotely and autonomously sort radioactive waste: politicshome.com/members/articl…

Today we're launching a pioneering partnership which will see innovative technology deployed for the first time on a nuclear site to remotely and autonomously sort and segregate radioactive waste. Read more: gov.uk/government/new…

What an incredible 3 days at the #BigBangFair 🌟 We've loved sparking curiosity and showcasing nuclear careers to the next generation. One student said: “The NDA group stand has been the best thing I’ve seen all day!” #STEM #FutureOfNuclear #InspiringTheNextGeneration

Today, the NDA group are at the #BigBangFair 2025 - we're proud to champion #STEM and inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers. 💡⚛️ #STEMCareers #FutureOfNuclear #NDAgroupCareers #InspiringTheNextGeneration #NDAgroup

Huge congratulations to @FernsSue - very well deserved. We deeply value the open and productive relationship with all our unions! 👏 #Honours #congratulations

We welcome the opportunity to demonstrate how at Sellafield - and across our estate - we are delivering our mission to manage the UK’s nuclear legacy and clean up sites safely and sustainably.

The Scottish Parliament's Cross-Party Group on the Civil Nuclear Industry met this week with a focus on the work of the Scottish Councils Committee on Radioactive Substances (SCCORS) - their role is to advise on all matters related to Radioactive Waste in Scotland.

A new study led by @decomcentre in collaboration with @NDAgovuk, shows that Scotland's £25 billion nuclear decommissioning programme could deliver significant long-term economic and social benefits at both national and local levels over the next 90 years and beyond.

We are marking two decades of collaboration with our Site Stakeholder Groups (SSGs). This year we’ll be holding a series of special engagement events and refreshing our relationship to ensure it’s fit for the future. Find out more here: ow.ly/iQic50VNs27

Yesterday EDF announced the Hunterston B nuclear power station has been defueled on time and budget. A fantastic achievement delivered in collaboration with the NDA group. Read more about how we help keep the lights on across the UK: gov.uk/government/new…

Last week we welcomed our NDA/Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) Forum to our sites for the first time to encourage challenge, scrutiny and wider understanding of our mission. Read more here: gov.uk/government/new… #NuclearDecommissioning #NGO #Collaboration
