Statement on NDA Budget 2007/8
22 February 2007
The NDA is pleased to confirm that the DTI has agreed to fund a programme of £2.472 billion for 2007/8 which represents a small increase on programme spending in the current year and is significantly higher than the 05/06 budget.
This settlement will allow the NDA and its contractors to continue to meet our priorities of safety, regulatory compliance, tackling highest hazards and providing more funding for decommissioning by maximising commercial income.
A spokesman for the NDA said:
“This is a good settlement. We have been increasing our expenditure to ensure that we can meet our key priorities and the budget agreed for next year enables us to effectively maintain our current higher level of spend. Within this overall budget limit we have prioritised tackling the highest hazards at Sellafield and Dounreay.”
“The NDA remains in discussion with Government on the spending limits for the next three years, building on the agreement reached for 07/08. The aim will be, at least, to maintain these historically high levels of expenditure on cleaning up the UK’s nuclear legacy. Also, work is progressing on an examination of the whole funding and financing regime for nuclear decommissioning with the goal of providing stability over the long term.”
The NDA has now issued funding guidance for next year to our contractors on the basis of an overall budget of £2.472 billion.
