NNL supports US DOE

NNL are pleased to announce that we recently took part in a US Department of Energy webinar to present details of a number of technologies that NNL have deployed at Sellafield that could be used to support the Hanford Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant (WTP). NNL presented information as part of a “Best of British” consortium consisting of NNL, NuVision and BHR.

The webinar involved a number of other companies including Sellafield Limited, PNNL, SRNL, Harris Corporation, and Fluor Corporation and was chaired by the US DOE’s Rod Rimando.

Nick Hanigan, NNL’s Director of Decommissioning and Waste Management, said: “This was a fantastic opportunity for NNL as it allowed us to showcase our technologies to US companies and senior members of the Government, including US Secretary of Energy Dr Steven Chu.”
