Areva and Atkins form UK partnership for nuclear fuel management and decom workby 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.
