Decommissioning and Jobs

Posted: 3rd February 2022

The Nuclear Free Local Authorities (NFLA) of the UK and Ireland has called for a clear commitment to offer work to local people on decommissioning work when nuclear plants close. In its response to the consultation just carried out by the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA), the agency charged with making safe and clearing closed civil nuclear plants, on its future Business Plan, the NFLA has called for support to be made available to staff losing employment from a decommissioned plant to enable them to be either re-engaged in a role supporting the decommissioning process or find alternate employment’. The NFLA also wants to see local contractors continue to be hired to supply goods and services to the work.
