URS, Amec and Areva win extension to massive Sellafield job

摘要

Construction giants URS, Amec and Areva will be kept on to manage the Sellaf ield nuclear decommissioning programme despite stinging criticism of the programme's progress to date. The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) said last week that it would be keeping the consortium, called Nuclear Management Partners (NMP), on to run the site for the next five years. The consortium was appointed in 2009 on a 17-year contract which is reviewed every five years.
