Our mission and vision

A safer, sustainable future

Our goal is to ensure that waste is managed innovatively and sustainably, to protect people and the environment and secure a safer future for us all. We have reversed the previous trend of disposing of 95% of nuclear waste, now sending only 2% for disposal, with 98% being recycled or reused.  

Our values

We are driven by doing the right thing for our people, customers, partners, and the communities where we operate, to ensure all our operations are safe and secure.

  • We are action-orientated
    We deliver for our customers, partners and people and we do it safely, sustainably  and securely. We think differently about waste, innovating in everything we do across the nuclear industry to meet the waste challenges of today and in the future.
  • We are ambitious
    We are problem solvers. Our work can be complex, technical, and very long-term in its operation which can make building understanding challenging. But we’re ready to embrace challenges, build on our progress and continue to deliver on our mission.
  • We act with integrity
    We are trusted to build a secure and sustainable future, and we understand that comes with huge responsibility. We’re proud to be part of the generation that is moving forward with safe and permanent solutions for disposal of radioactive waste.
  • We are collaborative and inclusive
    We have greater success when we work together. Our people are our greatest asset, and we are committed to creating an environment where we can all thrive. We all have a role to play in achieving our vision of making nuclear waste permanently safe, sooner.

Mission Readiness

The UK has been producing and managing radioactive waste for many decades and will continue to do so for many more. New nuclear plants are viewed by UK Government as essential to the green energy mix and a secure energy supply for all. And so the ability to safely manage nuclear waste from generation to final resting place is essential for the UK.

Nuclear Waste Services was formed in 2022, and our organisation proudly brings together the UK’s leading nuclear waste management capabilities, to protect people and the environment by managing waste effectively and seizing the opportunities this presents to secure a sustainable future for domestic clean energy security.

And our work affects everyone – the nuclear sector and its workers, supply chain partners, transporters, industrial users of radioactivity, hospitals, local communities, and the public at home and abroad.

Our activities provide the endpoint in the nuclear journey and are critical to the NDA’s mission, which represents one of the world’s largest environmental programmes.
