Details

We are committed to delivering the most value from the money invested in us to complete our mission at Sellafield every year.

In 2019/20 we were able to make progress across all our work, from high hazard and risk reduction to waste management and delivering the capital projects we need to help us make Sellafield safer, sooner.

That progress included:

  • installing retrievals equipment on the Magnox Swarf Storage Silos
  • completing the transfer of plutonium from Dounreay to Sellafield
  • continuing to dismantle the ventilation stack damaged by the Windscale Fire in 1957, and the First-Generation Reprocessing plant stack
  • completing the defuelling of the Calder Hall reactors
  • continuing to retrieve fuel, waste and sludge from the First Generation Magnox Storage Pond and Pile Fuel Storage Pond
  • starting the construction of the Sellafield Product and Residue Store and Retreatment Plant.

We also continued to invest in research and development (£79 million), recruited a new cohort of apprentices and graduates, and continued to invest in our communities through our social impact multiplied programme (£9.4 million).

In line with regulations, our annual report and account also includes details of our carbon footprint for the first time.

We will work with our partners and supply chain to better understand our shared responsibilities in further reducing our greenhouse gas emissions.

Further information on our approach to sustainability and environmental performance, along with details of our safety and social impact performance will be published in our annual sustainability report this autumn.
