Carillion wins £118 million contract for nuclear store to support
decommissioning

Support services and construction company Carillion has secured a £118 million
contract with British Nuclear Group to construct a store at Sellafield, Cumbria,
for materials arising from decommissioning.

Carillion has been working with British Nuclear Group on the Sellafield Product
and Residue Store (SPRS) since 2003 to develop the design and construction
methodology to ensure the facility can be delivered on time and to budget. This
contract is the first major construction contract to be let since the formation
of the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, for whom British Nuclear Group now
manages and operates the Sellafield site.

One of the key purposes of the store is to accommodate materials already at
Sellafield which need to be retrieved from older facilities, repackaged and
placed in a modern facility. It will receive materials recovered from historic
fuel manufacturing buildings that are now being decommissioned. Work on the
three-year contract will start this month.

Carillion chief executive John McDonough said: 'We are delighted to have secured
this contract with British Nuclear Group with whom we share a common approach to
the delivery of high quality, value for money solutions to the most stringent
safety and environmental standards.'

Tom Gilroy, SPRS project manager said: 'This is a very important project for the
Sellafield site. The store will be built to exacting standards and will afford
an enhanced level of protection and security for nuclear materials.'
