Our mission is to deliver safe, sustainable and publicly acceptable solutions to the challenge of nuclear clean-up and waste management. This means never compromising on safety, or security, taking full account of our social and environmental responsibilities, always seeking value for money for the tax payer, and actively engaging with stakeholders.
Our Strategic Priorities
- Encourage the highest standards in safety, security and environmental management;
- Drive hazard reduction;
- Secure our funding framework;
- Gain the support and confidence of our stakeholders;
- Achieve more for less;
- Develop integrated waste solutions;
- Maximise commercial value;
- Build an effective industry; and
- Create a world class organisation.
Our Corporate Targets 2007/8
HAZARD REDUCTION
To develop for all potentially mobile radioactive waste at NDA sites:
- a hazard baseline (amount, activity, location, condition and percentage of waste that is passively safe);
- a prioritisation process to ensure the highest hazards are given priority; and
- a programme for the progressive increase in the percentage that is passively safe that can be incorporated into all Life Time Plans and which will allow progress to be effectively monitored
INCREASING EFFICIENCY AND REDUCING THE OVERHEAD
To achieve SLC efficiency improvements including transparency of costs and overhead reduction:
- to make net savings of at least 2% on the total NDA programme spend of £2,472 million for the financial year 2007/8 without detriment to the overall programme, policies and objectives of the NDA; and
- by March 31 2008 to have defined and scheduled the fixed cost elements of each SLC and to have put in place an agreed detailed programme to target a reduction of fixed costs and overheads of at least 10% in 2008/9 against the 2007/8 budget.
COMPETITION
To ensure that the following three competition milestones are achieved by the due date:
- to have awarded the contract for the LLWR near Drigg by 30 November 2007;
- to have issued the invitation to submit Final Tenders (ITS FT) for the Sellafield PBO competition by 31 January 2008; and
- to have issued the PQQ for the Magnox South competition by 30 September 2007
