About Nuclear Waste Services
We are specialists in the treatment and disposal of nuclear waste. Our goal is to ensure that waste is managed in a way that protects people and the environment, now and in the future.
Who we are
We are part of the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) group, which is undertaking the biggest clean-up project in Europe.
We are integral to this environmental clean-up mission, as we work to provide permanent answers to our country’s nuclear waste. Today’s approach needs to keep pace with NDA’s decommissioning ambitions to recycle 50% of waste from decommissioning and reduce secondary wastes by around 70% by 2030.
Our mission and vision
Nuclear Waste Services was created with the vision and purpose to make nuclear waste permanently safe, sooner. Our mission is to become the ‘one-stop shop’ for all radioactive waste management and disposal solutions for the UK.
Coming together as a single business provides an integrated way of tackling waste of the past, while offering more sustainable and efficient services to waste producers, now and in the future.
