NDA Statement in Response to Funding Issues Raised in The Times

21 December 2006

The NDA has issued the following statement following today's (21st December) article in The Times "Shortfall in funding puts nuclear clean-up work at risk"

' The NDA’s funding comes from a combination of income from commercial operations and grant-in-aid from the DTI.

There is no question of the DTI cutting any of the funding which it provides to the NDA, however the performance of some of our commercial operations is subject to uncertainty and we are talking about this issue with them as part of the routine annual budgetary discussions.

In the meantime, we are taking the prudent step of asking our contractors to consider plans for various budget scenarios.

When these plans are further developed, and our funding position for 2007/8 is clear, we will be in a position to provide further information. This is unlikely to be before the end of January. No decisions have yet been made.'
