CNC host visit from U.S. Army facility

American Soldiers from their Nuclear Disablement Team 2 (NDT 2) toured the CNC Griffin Park Tactical Training Centre at Sellafield during a recent visit to the UK.

The soldiers met with personnel from the CNC as part of the five-day preparations for Exercise Dark Sleeper, which marks the first occasion that an NDT has trained in the UK.

Major Neal Trump, a nuclear operations officer from NDT 2, said CNC personnel from Sellafield coordinated the visit to the “world-class facility.”

Griffin Park Tactical Training Centre is one of the best firearms training facilities in Europe and opened in 2020.

Sergeant Andrew Bailey, Firearms Instructor at Sellafield, said: “It was a wonderful opportunity to be able to host the members of NDT 2 and show them the work we do in the CNC.”
