About us

We're charged, on behalf of government, with the mission to clean-up the UK’s former nuclear sites safely, securely and cost effectively.

We’re committed to overcoming the challenges of nuclear clean-up and decommissioning, leaving our 19 nuclear sites ready for their next use.

We do this work with care for our people, communities and the environment, with safety, as always, our number one priority.

What we do

As owners of one of the largest nuclear decommissioning and remediation programmes in Europe, our main priority is to lead the work across the NDA group and develop the strategy for how it should be carried out. We also play an important role in supporting government’s aspiration for the UK to be a global leader in the civil nuclear sector.

Our strategy is continually evolving and is updated every five years.

We strive to deliver best value for the UK taxpayer by focusing on reducing the highest hazards and risks, while ensuring safe, secure, and environmentally responsible operations at our sites.

We seek ways to reduce the level of public funding from government by generating revenue through our commercial activities.

The NDA group

Decommissioning the UK’s nuclear legacy is a complex undertaking and relies on the full range of expertise and skills within the NDA group. Over the last few years we’ve brought together the organisations involved in delivering our mission to decommission the UK’s legacy sites and facilities into one group, as NDA subsidiary operating companies. We’ve also taken steps to join some of our subsidiary operating companies, reducing the number of organisations and boards.

The NDA group is now made up of the NDA and its four key component parts:

  • Sellafield
  • Nuclear Restoration Services
  • Nuclear Waste Services
  • Nuclear Transport Solutions.

Our other subsidiaries include Rutherford Indemnity, NDA Archives, NDA Properties and Energus.
