Magnox Reactors

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what the reasons are for the increase in costs of £1.6 billion by Cavendish Fluor Partnership for the clean-up project for 12 Magnox reactors.

Answer

The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority’s (NDA’s) contract with Cavendish Fluor Partnership (CFP) contains a provision to allow for a period of consolidation between the NDA and CFP, ensuring the contract is in line with delivery on the ground.

The NDA’s consolidation process has not yet concluded and therefore it is not appropriate to comment on this figure.
