Nuclear Waste Services brings together the UK’s leading nuclear waste management capabilities.

We are part of the NDA group, which is undertaking the biggest clean-up project in Europe over many decades.

The UK has been producing and managing radioactive waste on an industrial scale since the 1940s. However, today’s approach and capabilities for waste management need to adapt to keep pace with NDA’s decommissioning ambitions. This includes its commitment to recycle 50% of waste from decommissioning and reduce secondary wastes by around 70% by 2030.
