Magnox Swarf Storage Silos Programme
Decommissioning Delivery Partnership Requirements
February 2014

MSSS Programme Context
•
The MSSS Programme manages and mitigates
the significant radiological and environmental
hazard presented by the inventory held within
the facility.
•
Facility constructed in four phases from the
1960s to 1980s
•
One of the highest priorities for
decommissioning in the NDA portfolio
•
NDA and Stakeholder challenge to accelerate
risk and hazard reduction
•
Age and proximity to other buildings limits the
scope for structural improvements
•
Currently a suite of major capital, retrievals
and facility resilience projects are in progress
and in various stages of maturity.
MSSS Programme Context
Programme Status
The MSSS Programme is being delivered in 7 tranches, resulting in successive risk reduction and
the removal of the hazard posed by the waste currently stored in the MSSS facility.
MSSS Programme Tranches
MSSS Programme Benefits
1 – Pre retrievals risk reduction structured as a
programme
1 – Safer, More Efficient Control & Delivery of Work
2 – Risk & Consequence from Hydrogen Event Reduced & Facility More Resilient
3 – Reduced Risk from a Seismic Event & Facility More Resilient
2 – MBGW removal capability
4 – Site Hazard & Risk Reduced Due to MSSS Beta Gamma Waste Removal
3 – Sludge bearing waste removal capability
5 – Site Hazard & Risk Reduced Due to MSSS Bulk Waste Removed
4 – MSSS stream full operational capability
5 – MSSS residuals removal capability
6 – MSSS facility POCO & decommissioning
capability
6 – Site Hazard & Risk Reduced Due to MSSS Residuals Removed
7 – End state
7 – Site Hazard & Risk Reduced Due to MSSS Facility Removed
The duration of the DDP covers activities relating to the first 4 of these tranches, thus requiring a
wide range of capabilities and interfaces with SL and supply chain organisations.
Key Delivery Challenges for MSSS
•
Complex Environment
•
Significant ramp up in plant based activity over next 5 years
•
Transition from a Nuclear Asset Management and Capital Projects
environment into a Nuclear Waste Operating and Decommissioning
Retrievals environment.
•
The required degree of programme and project level technical and planning
integration
•
Uncertainty in the waste form
•
Limited Material Import and Export Routes
•
Availability of sufficient skilled Resources
Capability required from DDP
