Management of Dounreay Reprocessing Contracts transfers to INS

International Nuclear Services (INS) recently took over formal management responsibility for the existing Dounreay overseas reprocessing contracts, from Dounreay Site Restoration Limited (DSRL), on behalf of the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA). The majority of these contracts were entered into by the UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) during its management of Dounreay in the 1980s and 1990s. These contracts were transferred from the UKAEA to the NDA in 2005.
INS is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the NDA and, as the NDA’s sales agent, manages contracts and relationships with customers in the UK and overseas for irradiated fuel management services and the transport of nuclear materials.
The transfer of this responsibility will enable DSRL to continue to focus on the safe clean-up and demolition of the Dounreay Site. In addition, synergy can be achieved by INS managing these contracts alongside those already being managed by INS on behalf of the NDA.
