Eden NE and our partners are delighted to have been awarded a place on the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority's Direct Research Portfolio (2020-2024) for "Integrated Waste Management, Site Decommissioning and Remediation (IWM & SDR)".

Our team, which includes Cyclife, Gardiner & Theobald, Golder, Hydrock, Integrated Decision Management (IDM), the University of Bristol and WSP are looking forward to supporting NDA on this important Framework over the next four years.

The Framework Contract is intended to support the full scope of R&D to develop and implement the IWM & SDR strategies as outlined in the NDA Strategy. The topics covered include:

• Integrated Waste Management, which includes waste management data and information, waste treatment and packaging, waste storage and waste disposal;
• Site Decommissioning and Remediation, which includes characterisation approaches and technologies, asset management, site end states, land quality management and land use.

Dr Andy Baker, Managing Director of Eden Nuclear and Environment, said

"We are delighted to have the opportunity to build upon our last four years of work to support the NDA's DRP framework for Integrated Waste Management, Site Decommissioning and Remediation. This framework is vitally important to the delivery of the UK's civil nuclear decommissioning mission, and we will utilise the deep and diverse expertise from our team and our new partners to support the NDA over the next four years."
