Future Plans

This section provides a brief description of the Berkeley site as outlined in the NDA's strategy.

The scope, schedule and cost of work needed to decommission the sites are reviewed annually by the NDA and its contractors during the Life Time Plan (LTP) review process.


Site End State

Under current plans, the assumed end-point for the site is a delicensed site with removal of all surface structures and subsurface structures down to 1m. Residual man-made contamination will be removed to the clearance criteria defined by the regulator, thus allowing the site to be released from regulatory control (i.e. delicensed).
