Welcome to the summer edition of NuclearCONNECT, packed as always with interesting features to keep you ahead of the game in the nuclear industry.
This edition, Penny Lees outlines the NDA’s PBO competition timescales and programme plans (page 4); how GE Hitachi’s PRISM technology could help with Pu management (page 16); the current state of play with the Dounreay transition (page 26); plus key messages from the spring LLW and Decom conferences (page 43).
Focusing on the supply chain, we hear from Serco how they are striving to become a better customer and maximise the value of small businesses (page 21) – and we have a perspective from successful SME, Matom, on page 24. Provelio offer useful advice on how to actively manage the bidding process and win work (page 46).
JCP Consultancy explain the dos and don’ts of effective alliancing on page 30; and an insight into collaboration in action comes from Celadon alliance, who are working on decommissioning for Magnox (page 33). Our H&S feature on page 56 focuses on keeping a consistent safety culture across collaborating organisations.
Dr John Idris Jones of Energy Island keeps us up to date on developments in Anglesey and North West Wales (page 47). And Geoff Fawkes of Tarmac explains on page 40 why we need to plan ahead now for concrete supply to mitigate project risks later.
