The Treatment and Disposal of Sellafield Ltd Cave Windows

Description

Nuclear Waste Services (NWS), through its Waste Services line of business, provides a Very Low Level Waste Treatment Service to both NDA and non-NDA customers. The service was established with the primary aim of prolonging the life of the repository through diverting very low level waste away from disposal at the LLWR site to treatment providers with the capability of disposal of the very low level waste. In line with the UK Government's Solid LLW Strategy and the Waste Management Hierarchy, this provides a more sustainable solution and extends the life of the LLWR site by reducing the volume of waste requiring disposal. A Procurement exercise in 2020 was carried out to award a Framework Agreement to several suppliers to dispose of Very Low Level Waste on behalf NWS, NDA and non NDA customers. This Further Competition was carried out as a call-off under the Framework Agreement for the disposal of Very Low Level Waste. This package of work is for the treatment and disposal of up to 24 Zinc Bromide Cave Window Carcasses from Sellafield Ltd.
