Nuclear decommissioning strategy approved by Government

21.03.11

Lord Marland, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State in the Department for Energy and Climate Change has endorsed the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority’s strategy to tackle the UK nuclear clean-up.

The NDA was set up to establish a detailed understanding of the challenges faced in cleaning up the UK's civil nuclear legacy sites and to oversee a safe and effective programme of delivery.

Lord Marland, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State in the Department for Energy and Climate Change, said:

"Tackling the nuclear legacy is an absolute priority. I am keen to see it dealt with vigorously."

"It is fundamental that we tackle this legacy rather than leave it to future generations. As such I thoroughly endorse this Strategy and the work being done by the NDA."
