Major Projects

Along with commercial and nuclear clean up operations, Sellafield Ltd is also undertaking a range of major projects that are key enablers to the management of ongoing site activities.

Major projects pose special challenges, these challenges are magnified by their location on a nuclear licensed site. Sellafield Ltd is meeting these challenges by successfully managing the scale, funding requirements, human resource requirements, technology and timescale of many projects to safely deliver value for money to the business.
