Mox Fuel Line · UK public procurement notice
Authority: NATIONAL NUCLEAR LABORATORY LIMITED·Consortium: 3 public authorities
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThe current Fuel Line located in National Nuclear Laboratory's (NNL's) Central Laboratory was designed and installed in the mid-2000's in Area 400 to provide research and development (R&D) support to Sellafield Mixed Oxide (MOx) Plant (SMP), which utilised the Short Binderless Route (SBR) for producing MOx. However, the Fuel Line was never fully commissioned and has remained in a state of Care and Maintenance (C&M) since then.
The intent is to re-purpose the above existing fuel line, whilst keeping certain elements embedded within the design.
The scope of the works required is therefore to Design, Install and provide technical support to Commissioning for the Fuel Line for future usage by the NDA.
