Nuclear Waste Services has awarded a four-year framework contract worth up to £41 million to three suppliers for the treatment and conditioning of radioactive waste

The new service has been hailed as providing producers of radioactive waste with added value because it will give them access to a variety of other technologies, such as encapsulation and de-tritiation, in addition to the core processes of incineration and super compaction that are regularly used to dispose of waste streams.

The Framework has been given to Veolia ES UK Ltd., PermaFix Environmental Services Inc., and Inutec Ltd., doing business as Tradebe Inutec.

NWS Director of Waste Services, Dr. Craig Ashton, stated:

This Framework represents the on-going development of our customer service offerings as part of a longer-term plan to create even more value and facilitate mission acceleration.

As always, the crew did a tremendous job getting everything ready to ensure uninterrupted service delivery.

The agreement expands on the success of a Garbage Treatment Services Framework that has been in place for four years, and it keeps as much of the emphasis on providing treatment technologies that allow waste to be diverted away from the Repository as is practical.

The Framework can offer services that span the whole waste lifetime, such as project management, expert assistance, characterization, site preparations, disassembly, transport, segregation, treatment, conditioning, and optimized disposal, among others.

  1. To keep the heating and lights on for their dog in the winter, dog owners may be spending close to £300 annually. In his studies, energy efficiency expert Dr. David Glew has observed numerous instances of people leaving the central heating on in their vacant homes to keep their pets warm. He cautions that having the heating on for a dog might increase the annual gas bill in a big family house by £240. Dr. Glew estimates that leaving the lights on for a pet in a few rooms for six hours a day may cost £50 a year with contemporary spotlights or £12 a year with LED lightbulbs. While leaving a fan on would only cost £5, leaving the air conditioning on throughout the entire house may cost hundreds more per year. The majority of healthy pets have enough fur to keep them warm, according to veterinarians, so turning on the heat or air conditioning is typically unnecessary. This month at the Cheltenham Science Festival, Dr. Glew, director of energy efficiency and policy at Leeds Beckett University, brought up the subject in a discussion. There is no need to leave the heater on for pets, he said, but if owners feel they must, they might think about solely heating the room the dog enjoys or lowering the thermostat or radiator dial. According to Energy Saving Trust research from 2015, 43% of pet owners leave the heat on for their animals.To keep the heating and lights on for their dog in the winter, dog owners may be spending close to £300 annually.
