OF THE 20th, 21st and 22nd CENTURIES

Stephen JonesDeputy Head of Project Management capabilityChairman APM PMC SIG

∗ A very brief history of Sellafield Ltd

∗ “to work out where you’re going, it helps to know where you came from”

∗ Some understanding of the challenge – and the opportunities – that lie ahead

∗ Whats in it for You? – a chance to hear the story, see the direction and decide if you might want to be a part of it one day

What is today about?

Our past…

THE ENGINEERING CHALLENGE OF THE 20th CENTURY

Supporting the war effort – 1940

The Sellafield site has been operational since the 1940s

In September 1947 work began on the construction of the Windscale Piles and

its two air cooled reactors.


∗ The Sellafield site was used as a Royal Ordinance Factory supporting the war effort and the National Defence Programme

∗ By March 1952 the Windscale reactors were in operation producing plutonium for military purposes.


Harnessing the power – 1950

In 1952 the decision was made to build a commercial sized nuclear

power station

Construction of the Calder Hall power station commenced in 1953


∗ Her Majesty the Queen opened Reactor 1 at Calder Hall in October 1956

∗ Calder Hall successfully operated until 2003 after nearly 46 years of electricity generation.


Completing the fuel cycle - 1960

Construction of the WAGR

WAGR began operating in 1963 and was closed down in 1981 and celebrated

completing its decommissioning programme in 2011.


∗ The Thermal Oxide Reprocessing Plant (Thorp) was completed in December 1992 and granted permission to operate in March 1994, with the full consent to operate given in 1997

∗ In 1994 construction work started on the Sellafield Mixed Oxide Plant (Mox) Plant


Present Day…The Sellafield site is one of the biggest construction sites

in the UK – Within 5 years we will be the biggest in Europe

Our challenges are almost always industry firsts.

Hazard reduction is incredibly demanding technically, calling for vision, imagination and expertise.

The complexity of each project is unmatched anywhere else in the nuclear sector.

THE ENGINEERING CHALLENGE OF THE 21st CENTURY

We are NOT just about legacy and decommissioning!


11 Major Projects

We currently have 11 major projects either in design or construction, with more than £350 million per year invested.









Our next chapter..!

There’s a nuclear renaissance going on around the world.

This is an industry for the future –

The skills and knowledge being developed within Sellafield Ltd will enable the UK to take its position at the technology forefront.

THE ENGINEERING CHALLENGE OF THE NEXT CENTURY

What Next? – 2020+



At Sellafield Ltd, we embarking on a 100 year mission.

11,000 men and women on a programme transforming the

Sellafield site, leaving it safe and environmentally sound for

all the generations that follow.

This Century’s Journey is Just Beginning!
