Corporate report

Socio-economic report 2017/18

Updated 12 July 2018

The aim of this report is to provide a brief overview of NDA group socio-economic expenditure for financial year 2017/18.

Our overall strategy

In line with its legal obligations, the NDA takes due regard of the impact of its activities in the communities around its sites.

The NDA’s decommissioning work supports a considerable number of jobs in some remote parts of the UK. We strive to maximise the value of the assets we own on behalf of the taxpayer, for example, by reusing land and buildings wherever possible.

We also spend around 1% of our overall expenditure on local projects.

This funding is intended to help local communities affected by the changing levels of economic activity at our sites. If local communities are particularly reliant on nuclear sites, we work with local partners to help develop alternative economic opportunities. In the pages below there are a number of examples of such projects.

We also fund projects that develop local skills and businesses to take advantage of the economic opportunities from decommissioning. Funding is allocated on an assessment of local needs and on the basis of a competitive process to projects and organisations meeting these local needs.

Our 4 principles

• Local: the NDA group’s socio-economics work is about local communities and this should mean they are involved and consulted on projects
• Evidence: we use data to determine where and when to prioritise budget and we need to evaluate the impact of what we do
• Governance: our budgets come from the taxpayer which means we need excellent governance, planning, record-keeping, financial reporting and audit
• Outcomes: we want to make a difference and a real impact. We look at the outcomes from our work and put inform

Our 5 objectives

• Education and Skills: to enhance opportunities for local people to be involved in decommissioning work or other economic activity through education, retraining and skills development.
• Employment: to create sustainable economic opportunities to enable the workforce to continue to live and work in the local area before and after site closure.
• Economic and Social Infrastructure: to increase the attractiveness of areas near our sites as places to live, work and invest in, with particular emphasis on achieving environmental, social and infrastructure improvements.
• Economic Diversification: to support the diversification of local economies into other sectors – reducing the reliance of communities on nuclear sites for employment - by increasing the number, variety and vibrancy of local businesses, promoting entrepreneurship and taking steps to attract new enterprises.
• Being a Good Neighbour: small scale community-based and social projects near our site.

Economic evidence

We base our socio-economic decisions on evidence, therefore we carry out economic studies to support our decision-making process. These reports show us that the impact of our decommissioning work is very different at each of our sites.

On behalf of the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, Economic Insight has carried out an ‘Economic Impact Assessment’ for the 12 Magnox sites.

Economic Impact Assessment of Magnox sites

This Sellafield Ltd report considers:

• direct impact, which is the economic activity that Sellafield Ltd generates at its UK offices and plants because of its operational spending.
• indirect impact, or supply chain impact, that occurs because Sellafield Ltd buys inputs of goods and services from UK businesses.
• induced impact, which relates to the wider economic benefits that arise when employees of Sellafield Ltd and its supply chain spend their wages in the consumer economy, for example in local retail establishments.

The economic impact of Sellafield Ltd

Dounreay socio-economic impact assessment

The socio-economic impact assessment conducted in 2014 recommended that NDA and DSRL focus on:

• physical infrastructure improvements at the 3 ports and Wick John O’Groat’s Airport
• inward investment activity
• skills development programme
• follow-on from previous interventions
• work with Chamber of Commerce for the Dounreay supply chain

Dounreay Socio-economic Impact Assessment Report 2014

Our overall approach

• Sellafield Ltd Social Impact Strategy 2018
• Magnox Ltd Socio-economic Plan 2016 to 2019
• Socio-economic support for communities near Dounreay

Total Group Commitments

£10 million was the total NDA Group socio-economic expenditure in 2017/18.

Over 200 projects benefitted from NDA Group socio-economic programmes in 2017/18.

Organisation	NDA Group socio-economic expenditure 2017/18
Sellafield Ltd	£5,789,849
Copeland Community Fund	£1,545,000
Nuclear Decommissioning Authority	£1,208,325

Caithness & North Sutherland Fund	£208,721

Main points

• The total NDA Group expenditure is less than the previous year. This is partly due to a one-off commitment to Campus Whitehaven, which increased the total expenditure figure in 2016/17.
• On behalf of the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, Economic Insight has carried out an ‘Economic Impact Assessment’ for the 12 Magnox sites.

Level of funding by each Magnox Ltd site

Site	Magnox Ltd socio-economic expenditure 2017/18	NDA expenditure 2017/18
Wylfa (Anglesey)	£319,643	£0
Trawsfynydd (North Wales)	£90,883	£465,000

Harwell (Oxfordshire)	£5,968	£0
Winfrith (Dorset)	£5,221	£0
Sizewell A (Suffolk)	£4,237	£0

Magnox sites are classified into high, medium or low priority in relation to socio-economic intervention according to the prevailing socio-economic conditions in the community and the proximity to a significant change in operations and job numbers.

• High priority sites: Dungeness A, Trawsfynydd, Bradwell and Hunterston A
• Medium priority sites: Chapelcross, Winfrith and Wylfa
• Low priority sites: Berkeley, Harwell, Hinkley, Oldbury and Sizewell A

Main points

• This year we awarded a total of £68,000 for Good Neighbour projects, out of a total of £72,000 (£6k is allocated for each of the 12 sites).
• High priority sites receive the majority of funding, although it is important to note that if a robust transformational project is submitted and fits the criteria, it will be given due consideration on its merits.
• Once the economic impact assessment has been completed, it will provide a greater understanding of where funding is most needed.
