This week, the second Cross Party Group on the Civil Nuclear Industry was held at the Scottish Parliament. The subject was ‘skills’ with over 40 people attending to discuss the issue and how we achieve greater cross-sector working to ensure a workforce that’s fit for the future. We have three sites in Scotland which employ around 2,500 people and we invest significantly in the Scottish supply chain and the communities around our sites.

About us
We're charged, on behalf of government, with the mission to clean-up the UK’s earliest nuclear sites safely, securely and cost effectively. We’re committed to overcoming the challenges of nuclear clean-up and decommissioning, leaving the 17 nuclear sites ready for their next use. We do this work with care for our people, communities and the environment, with safety, as always, our number one priority. Our 17 sites reflect the UK's nuclear legacy and include the first fleet of nuclear power stations, research centres, fuel-related facilities, and Sellafield, which has the largest radioactive inventory and the most complex facilities to decommission. Current plans indicate it will take more than 100 years to complete our core mission of nuclear clean-up and waste management. The goal is to achieve the end state at all sites by 2333. As owners of one of the largest nuclear decommissioning and remediation programmes in Europe, our main priority is to lead the work across the NDA group and develop the strategy for how it should be carried out. We also play an important role in supporting government’s aspiration for the UK to be a global leader in the civil nuclear sector. We strive to deliver best value for the UK taxpayer by focusing on reducing the highest hazards and risks, while ensuring safe, secure, and environmentally responsible operations at our sites.

On Tuesday 9 September, we welcomed The Scottish Government Minister for Public Finance as well as representatives from Dumfries and Galloway Council and South of Scotland Enterprise to our Chapelcross site. The site aims to play a leading role in the development of hydrogen technology in Scotland and follows the unveiling of a masterplan for the future of the site last month, showcasing the vision to develop it into a Green Energy Hub. Chapelcross is currently being decommissioned on our behalf by Nuclear Restoration Services with anticipation that the development of the hub will drive growth in the local Scottish economy, attracting high value jobs, skills and activities in the green energy industry to the area. Find out more about the longer term plans here: https://lnkd.in/drkhVhuz

Did you see the BBC News article from BBC Science’s Victoria Gill on the UK’s radioactive nuclear waste. She speaks to experts to understand why it’s important we find a site for a Geological Disposal Facility (GDF)? (https://lnkd.in/e-EH-TF4) In this clip from BBC Breakfast, you can check out more from her trip where she visits Sellafield and attends a local community event where our experts discuss the GDF programme with local residents.
