Nuclear Industry

ESI has a very strong record of working with the nuclear industry to deliver practical solutions to the often complex problems posed. Recent announcements have been made by government regarding the development of new power stations in the UK and the preferred option to manage and using deep disposal for hazardous waste and spent fuel. Significant efforts are also currently being directed at decommissioning redundant nuclear sites in order to manage the UK's nuclear liability.

ESI has completed a number of successful projects at the Low Level Waste Repository (LLWR) at Drigg and at the Sellafield site.  Work at the LLWR has focussed on the Post Closure Radiological Safety Assessment, which is designed to demonstrate the long term safety of this disposal site.  Work at Sellafield has centred around characterisation studies into the in-ground contamination. ESI has a strong track record of working with major engineering companies and providing specialist hydrogeological and risk assessment services.  ESI staff are able to integrate into the large engineering teams required and to liaise with the many specialists required by these projects.

We offer the following services that support current decommissioning, waste disposal and safety case activities required by the nuclear industry.
