The UK’s Sellafield Limited announced yesterday it has awarded a contract for the first phase of a multi-million pound waste storage facility to a Babcock and Balfour Beatty joint venture.
Plans are currently underway for the completion and expansion of a purpose-built, above-ground nuclear waste storage facility, in addition to the construction of a new import-export radioactive waste facility at the Sellafield site in West Cumbria in the north-west of England.
A spokesperson for Sellafield, which is the UK’s nuclear recycling centre, told NucNet today that “the potential overall project cost is 200 million pounds (GBP) (243 million euro, 313 million US dollars)”.
