Dorset County Council has approved planning permission for Tradebe Inutec ’s application for a new facility on its Winfrith nuclear decommissioning site. The 700m2 building will be the first new permanent facility to be constructed on the Winfrith site for 20 years, and is another significant investment on that site that follows Tradebe Inutec becoming a nuclear site licensee in early 2019.

Contractors will shortly begin on-site work. When complete, the new facility will enable the company to further increase flexibility for customers in processing their LLW and borderline ILW waste, and substantially increase processing capacity and accelerate decommissioning project completion.

Brian Mulholland, Managing Director of Tradebe Inutec, said: “The facility will become operational in summer 2020, and underpins our Winfrith site as a Centre of Excellence for the processing of complex nuclear waste streams. We’re delighted to be moving forward on this important project and in supporting the UK’s decommissioning mission.”
