About Us

We’re the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) group.

Funded by the UK Government, we’re safely and securely decommissioning the UK’s earliest nuclear facilities and preparing them for their next use, removing the burden from future generations. We do this with care for our people, communities and the environment.

One extraordinary group, so many possibilities

We’re delivering one of the world’s most important environmental programmes, safely, securely and sustainably decommissioning the UK’s earliest nuclear facilities and preparing the sites for their next use.

The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) group is responsible for nuclear sites in all parts of the UK, together with specialist waste and international transport capabilities. Our work is also growing, with more facilities joining us to be decommissioned in the next decade. It’s a long-term mission and we deliver it with care for our people, communities and the environment.

With opportunities from procurement and supply chain to radiological protection advisors, engineers to cyber security specialists and accountants to project managers, together with a strong commitment to invest in your growth, there are so many possibilities to develop your career with the NDA group graduate programme.

Sustainability

We’re committed to delivering our mission sustainably

  • We invest £30 million each year in apprentice and graduate development
  • We invest £15 million each year to support positive social and economic change in local communities
  • We invest £100 million each year in research, development and innovation
  • We’re supported by a supply chain of around 5,000 companies

Our Mission

The UK is a pioneer of nuclear power, with electricity generated for homes and businesses since the 1950s.

Our 17 sites are part of this legacy and include the first fleet of nuclear power stations as well as research sites, fuel-related plants and waste handling and disposal facilities.

When the sites were built, no plans were developed for how they’d be decommissioned, unlike the arrangements in place for sites today.

Our staff, supply chain, academic partners and global experts are working together to develop innovative approaches and deliver our work safely, securely and cost effectively.

It’s a long-term challenge, stretching into the next century, that we’re delivering with sustainability in mind. The work we’re doing is extraordinary and, for our people, it means there are so many possibilities in a wide range of professional, technical and other disciplines.
