Winfrith was established by UKAEA in 1957 as an experimental reactor research and development site. During its history, eight research reactors of various types operated on the site. Winfrith also had a number of other facilities including fuel manufacture and examination, plutonium laboratories, nuclear waste treatment and storage and radioactive laboratories.
Decommissioning activities began in the early 1990s and the last reactor was shut down in 1995. All the nuclear fuel and the majority of hazards have now been removed from the site.

| Status | Decommissioning and Termination |
| Cost - Lifetime (total discounted nuclear liability) |
£1,178m (for Harwell and Winfrith) |
* The costs of discharging the nuclear liability will be incurred over a significant period of time. To take account of the time value of money, the costs are "discounted" back to a present value. Effectively this is the amount that would need to be invested today, at a set rate of interest (the discount rate) in order to pay for the liability in the future as it falls due.
