Each year we produce a report into the work of our research and development teams.

It’s a fascinating insight into the highly complicated world of Sellafield and focuses on the longer term innovative technologies, tools and techniques we need to reduce the costs, improve safety and reduce timescales.

We know that at its core, our work involves taking waste out of our ponds and silos and making it safe for storage, building new storage facilities and decommissioning what we no longer need.

But the science behind that is incredible, and R&D is at the forefront.

The report is designed to help everyone understand why the science is so important, and how we work in collaboration with organisations across the UK to meet the challenges of our site.
