Details

This 5-year plan is intended to provide information to a range of stakeholders about the R&D topics that NDA plans to fund. It includes how these activities will enable us to develop strategy, encourage innovation and maintain technical skills in nuclear decommissioning.

The information will be of value to the stakeholder organisations who fund us, those we collaborate with and suppliers who carry out R&D work.

Since publication of our last 5-year plan, significant developments have changed the nuclear decommissioning R&D landscape, which we have taken into account in shaping this plan.

These include the government’s publication of its Industrial Strategy and the Nuclear Sector Deal, which both highlight the importance of innovation in achieving UK economic growth and reducing the cost of decommissioning.
