The NDA group Draft Strategy 2025 for public consultation

Summary

The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority is consulting on its draft strategy for the safe, secure and sustainable decommissioning of the UK’s legacy nuclear sites

This consultation closes at

Consultation description

At the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA), we have an obligation, under the Energy Act (2004) (ref 1), to decommission the UK’s earliest nuclear sites safely, securely and sustainably, with care for the environment and the communities adjacent to our sites.

Our nationally important mission spans several decades and this revised strategy sets out a clear roadmap for how we’ll manage one of the UK’s most complex long-term environmental challenges, delivering a positive and long-lasting legacy for future generations.

In this consultation, the NDA wants to hear from members of the public, nuclear regulators, employees from within our NDA group operating companies, subsidiaries, trade unions, local authorities, Site Stakeholder Groups (SSGs), Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) and any other organisation or public body. In your response, please state whether you are responding as an individual or representing the views of an organisation. If you are responding on behalf of an organisation, please make it clear who the organisation represents and, where applicable, how you assembled the views of members.

The consultation focusses on a series of questions throughout the draft strategy document. However, we are happy to receive all comments on how our strategy or its implementation can be improved and we will consider where appropriate. We are also consulting on our Integrated Impact Assessment (IIA) reports associated with the draft strategy.

The public consultation is open for 12 weeks until 29 September 2025.
