The nuclear industry is one which along parallel paths is decommissioning its facilities and providing an ongoing operational service. All this is happening under considerable scrutiny from the regulators and the general public. As it achieves its objectives and as part of the strategy for doing so, the sector is changing rapidly. This is stimulating a private sector nuclear capability able to compete on the global stage.

The management of environmental and health and safety issues is central to achieving success in the decommissioning process. Value for money and increased cost certainty also feature highly.

Entec has an extensive track record of providing innovative environmental and engineering solutions to the nuclear industry. Our environmental appraisal teams undertake complex investigations of the fate and impact of emissions to water, air and land and help clients comply with regulations. Our contaminated land engineers and scientists investigate, design and implement solutions for the control and clean-up of liabilities arising from soil and groundwater pollution. Recent experience includes strategic environmental advice to major decommissioning schemes, and assisting in the design of a new drainage system to facilitate the delicensing of parts of a nuclear site.
