Sellafield Contract

Amec Foster Wheeler has been notified that the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) is to terminate the NMP Sellafield contract at the end of Q1 2016. The NDA has confirmed this is not performance related and this change does not impact any other Amec Foster Wheeler project work on the Sellafield site.

It is vital that the lessons learned and the progress made since NMP were awarded the contract in 2008 should not be wasted.  NMP has to date generated £650m of efficiency savings and met 96% of its targets last year while Sellafield's safety performance is now the best ever.

NMP will continue to ensure that safe operations are maintained at the site, with the progressive implementation of a new contractual model. 

Amec Foster Wheeler looks forward to continuing a significant role in the decommissioning work at Sellafield.
