End of life management on the Harwell site
07 February, 1999
The research reactors and many other nuclear facilities at the UK Atomic Energy Authority’s Harwell nuclear establishment ceased operating by the early 1990s. The UKAEA then embarked on a unique project – decommissioning one of the world’s major nuclear facilities. To accomplish this, the Authority devised a strategy optimising safety, environmental, technical, staffing and cost factors. All of the major redundant facilities have now been decommissioned to Stage 2 and many others demolished. By 2020 it is expected that the only remaining radioactive facilities at Harwell will be three reactors and an ILW store, all in a passively safe condition. The remainder of the current site will have been redeveloped as the Harwell International Business Centre. by K F LANGLEY & R A SIMPSON
