Nuclear Decommissioning Authority Annual Report 22-23
11th October 2023
Recently published the annual report of the National Decommissioning Authority (NDA) 2022-23. For Caithness perhaps the most interest will be where Dounreay is mentioned. There are snippets about Dounreay scattered throughout the report.
The NDA is an executive non-departmental public body created by the Energy Act 2004 to lead the clean-up and decommissioning work at the NDA's 17 sites on behalf of government. NDA is sponsored and funded by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ), formerly the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS).
Magnox is an NDA subsidiary, responsible for 12 nuclear sites across the UK: Berkeley, Bradwell, Chapelcross, Dungeness A, Harwell, Hinkley Point A, Hunterson A, Oldbury, Sizewell A, Trawsfynydd, Winfrith and Wylfa. Magnox also generates electricity at the Maentwrog hydroelectric plant.
Dounreay in the north of Scotland was operated by Dounreay Site Restoration Limited during the period of this report. On 1 April 2023 it became a division of Magnox Ltd.
