NSG Awarded Magnox ILW Framework Contract

 

NSG have been awarded a framework contract by Magnox Ltd for the delivery of an Intermediate Level Waste (ILW) Management Programme across eight sites.  Throughout the operational life of Magnox sites, various streams of ILW have been produced and stored within shielded tanks and vaults of various design. As part of the framework, NSG will support Magnox with the retrieval and processing of the different waste streams into 'self shielding' containers for final disposal. 

As one of the few organisations in the UK to have proven life cycle experience of waste retrieval and processing and a successful record of delivery throughout the Magnox business, NSG have a unique understanding of the complexities of waste management and will use this to safely deliver projects in an efficient manner.

NSG are committed to sharing and learning through the framework and look forward to working collaboratively with Magnox, our subcontractors and other framework partners which include Babcock International; TSIF ILW Joint Venture; EnergySolutions EU Ltd: Nuvia and Spencer Atkins. We have a good track record in working with our suppliers and clients to deliver innovative solutions which take advantage of proven technologies from other industries. We would hope to use the experience we have gained in retrieving and processing waste at many of the Magnox sites including Sizewell A, Hunterston, Bradwell and Trawsfynydd to enhance the performance of the framework.

This is a wonderful opportunity to work with the market leaders in waste processing and be part of a team whose focus will be the reduction of the nuclear waste legacy on the Magnox sites. Kevin Collins, Framework Commercial Manager for Magnox Ltd said ''NSG not only demonstrated excellent technical capability but also good track record in working in partnership with both their clients and their suppliers. We think they will make a significant contribution to this framework''.
