The UK's Babcock International has won four contracts worth GBP 86 million for radiometric services at Sellafield.
The contracts are for nuclear material assay (NMA) maintenance delivery and support, maintenance delivery and workshop repairs for installed and portable radiological protection instrumentation (IRPI and PRPI), calibration and repair of maintenance and test equipment (MTE) and specialist technical and consultancy support for ad-hoc specialist measurements.
The NMA, RPI and MTE contracts are awarded for a duration up to 12 years (a significant increase on the current three year contracts for these services, which are held by Babcock and expire in March this year). The specialist measurements contract (also currently held by Babcock until March 2011) is awarded as a four-year framework agreement.
