UK Nuclear Decommissioning starts

The decommissioning process, which is being funded by the government, is expected to cost the taxpayer £48bn.

Decommissioning of the Sellafield nuclear plant has begun – a process which will eventually result in the loss of thousands of jobs.

The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) officially assumed responsibility for the clean-up of the nuclear reprocessing complex on 1 April.

According to the NDA, the process could take up to 100 years, but heavy job losses are expected within 10 years.
