Our <strong>Nuclear</strong> Business - Clean Up<br />

Clean Up<br />

Atkins has been involved in the nuclear clean up<br />

since the late 1980s working with Sellafield Ltd<br />

(formally BNFL), Magnox and UKAEA.<br />

Atkins was quick to recognise that the engineering skills acquired<br />

in the offshore sector were transferable to the nuclear clean up<br />

market where there was a demand for remote operations. Early<br />

projects included the Windscale Pile Chimneys project management<br />

and engineering, Windscale Piles Managing Agent, Dounreay BFR<br />

Decommissioning safety case and Berkeley Active Waste Vaults<br />

Recovery engineering and safety case.<br />

Sellafield Legacy Pond<br />

The clean up of the First Generation Magnox Storage Pond at<br />

Sellafield is widely acknowledged as one of the most challenging<br />

projects in the NDA estate. Atkins have been providing engineering<br />

services to the project for over a decade.<br />

The portfolio of projects includes:<br />

• Ponds Alliance<br />

• Export Re-equipping<br />

• Pond Retrievals<br />

Atkins is delivering the work through the ACKtiv <strong>Nuclear</strong> Joint<br />

Venture, alongside Aker Solutions and Carillion. Atkins is providing<br />

multidiscipline engineering services to the project, including civil,<br />
