Building life and life extension-experience at Sellafield

摘要

BNFl's Sellafield site has developed significantly since the 1950s, and continues to develop with the current major construction projects in progress. There exists therefore a wide range of buildings and infrastructure facilities of various age and construction style. It is the experience at Sellafield that where life extension is required, it is to achieve two fundamental objectives: to extend the period of safe operations, or to extend serviceable life in order to support decommissioning programmes.
