In this report we discuss work as diverse as the use of robotics in the risk reduction of glovebox operations to the corrosion monitoring of our waste packages. I am, as always, in awe of both the quality of this work and the breadth of subject matter that our technical teams consistently deliver. It provides just one example where the technical support to our operational facilities and forward-looking projects ensures our endeavours to provide Lifetime Value for Money*. The ability to make the decision to end Magnox reprocessing and to do this safely and effectively relied on the years of knowledge and experience built up in our technical teams and centres of expertise. This will allow our workforce to focus on decommissioning and waste management activities moving us closer towards the site end-state. This coming year marks the end of an era with the cessation of reprocessing nuclear fuel on the Sellafield site. Our aim to remediate the Sellafield site remains constant and with each year we progress with the reduction of the site hazards and the building of technically advanced facilities to manage and store legacy waste. This work is fundamental in delivering our purpose of a clean and safe environment for future generations. I hope you enjoy this year’s annual report on the research and development (R&D) that our technical teams both undertake and sponsor.
