Progress against this year's targets

Our current Business Plan outlines what we intend to achieve this year. In summary this includes

delivering and accelerating the work on the Legacy Ponds and Silos at Sellafield
working towards taking the Dounreay site to its Interim State
optimising route towards Care and Maintenance across the Magnox fleet and at Harwell and Winfrith
dealing with the loss of income arising from the end of power generation at Oldbury
the implementation of the Low Level Waste strategy at the Low Level Waste Repository (LLWR)

Specific targets sit behind this planned activity. Progress against these business plan targets is outlined below.

NDA Business Plan 2012 - 2015 (1Mb)

The status of progress against targets outlined below is based on reporting at the end of Quarter 3 (end December 2012).

Status as at end of Quarter 3 of 2012/13 (Progress against Quarter 4 will be reported in May 2013)

Site Restoration

The objective of this theme is to restore our designated sites and release them for other uses.

Our priority is to remediate hazardous materials in the legacy ponds and silos at Sellafield. We will also decommission redundant facilities at Sellafield whilst maintaining the infrastructure and capability across the site to sustain the operations of key supporting plants and services. Across the rest of the estate we will place Magnox reactors into care and maintenance, deliver Dounreay site to an Interim State and maintain Harwell and Winfrith in a safe and secure state.
