Under the new framework, Amentum will deliver a range of technical support to NWS’s Integrated Waste Management Delivery Team. This will cover the entire waste management lifecycle, including topic areas such as waste culture, knowledge management, sustainability, strategy and business case and underpinning technical support.
NWS is part of the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) group, which has a collective long-term mission to clean up nuclear sites safely, securely and cost-effectively. The NDA is a non-departmental public body created by the Energy Act 2004 to lead the clean-up and decommissioning work at 17 sites on behalf of government. It is sponsored and funded by the Department for Energy, Security and Net Zero (DESNZ).
The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority established the Integrated Waste Management Programme to ensure that waste is managed in a more integrated way, from waste generation to disposal, removing barriers and promoting value-based decision-making.
