United Kingdom : LLWR awards multi-million pound contract to Orano TN
Publish Date : 29-Jun-2018
LLW Repository Ltd has signed a multi-million pound contract with Orano TN for the supply of packaging, professional services and equipment to facilitate the safe and cost effective transport of waste from UK nuclear sites to Sellafield for storage.
The scope of the contract includes the modernisation and maintenance of three TN Gemini packages, owned by the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA), and the supply of logistical equipment recently approved by the French Nuclear Safety Authority.
David Rossiter, LLWRs Head of Waste Management Services, who attended the contract launch event in Paris on behalf of the organisation, said:
Orano TN has deployed these market-leading containers in France for over two decades, and this contract marks a milestone in establishing a long term relationship with the UK.
It will facilitate the transport in TN Gemini packages of legacy waste stored on Magnox sites, and that is great news for the NDA estate.
The contract covers the requirements of multiple UK nuclear Site Licence Companies for up to six years.
LLWR Programme Manager Alan Jackson said:
LLWRs engagement with Orano TN for these supply and professional services contracts embodies a key part of our mission.
Not only does it represent LLWRs international outlook for the safest solutions to the UKs waste transport programme, but it also shows our commitment to gaining the best value for money for the UK taxpayer.
David Ohayon, Senior Vice President Waste of Orano TN, the logistics subsidiary of the global nuclear fuel cycle company, Orano, said:
Our ability to offer innovative and competitive products and services has been formally recognised by our partners LLWR and Magnox.
Orano TN is proud to contribute to this vital programme for the sustainability of nuclear energy in the UK.
