Description
Decommissioning has been undertaken at Sellafield since the mid 1950s, primarily to create space for new facilities, but the start of the formal decommissioning programme was in the early 1980's. Six plants have been completely decommissioned, a further 22 major project phases have been completed and 25 are currently under going decommissioning. The successful completion of a number of projects and the large number of projects currently undergoing practical decommissioning demonstrate that reprocessing plant decommissioning can be successfully and cost effectively accomplished
