Areva and Atkins form UK partnership for nuclear fuel management and decom work

by I-Nuclear
France’s Areva and the UK’s Atkins have formed the Areva-Atkins Partnership UK to compete for projects in the UK nuclear fuel management and decommissioning sector, the companies said September 18.
The Areva-Atkins Partnership is expected to bid for significant contracts at “Tier 2” level in the UK nuclear engineering sector.
Tier 1 contracts are the contracts with the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) to manage and operate the various sites in NDA estate.
Tier 2 contracts mean the subcontracts the site operators place to deliver their objectives.
Areva, for examples, is one-third of Nuclear Management Partners, which operates the Sellafield nuclear and chemical waste complex for the NDA.
The Areva-Atkins partnership will draw on the expertise of both companies. It offers a unique combination of international technology along with unbeatable design and engineering consultancy and deep understanding of the UK market and regulations, the companies said.
The Areva-Atkins Partnership UK will have its headquarters in Warrington, in North West England.
