About the Project:

As part of the North Transfers project, there is a need to retrieve a large number of packages of special nuclear material from several stores on the Sellafield site and safely transfer them via a centralised export facility to a new plant for onward treatment.
This involves the construction of a safety case, consideration DSEAR (hydrogen) issues and the need to ensure compatibility with acceptance criteria of the downstream plant.
Alongside this, as part of a separate project, there is the need to consider how packages that don t meet the acceptance criteria for this and/or other processes available ( orphan packages ) are handled.
Additionally there is the need to safely transfer packages to NNL for detailed analysis.
