£20m For Nuclear Research Centre
26 January 2007
THE ENGINEER ONLINE (LONDON) -- The University of Manchester’s Dalton Nuclear Institute and the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) are establishing a major new nuclear research facility in West Cumbria, England, according to a collaboration agreement that calls for each organisation to invest USD 20 million over a seven-year period. The new lab will be equipped with specialized equipment that will drive research into radiation sciences and engineering decommissioning. The new facility, which will form part of the UK Government's recently announced National Nuclear Laboratory, will be located at Westlakes Science and Technology Park, near Whitehaven. The lab will have close links with the existing British Technology Center (BTC) at Sellafield, which is managed by Nexia Solutions.
