Press release NDA 09 April 2009

Bidding for land at Nuclear Decommissioning Authority sites is set to continue after an Easter recess.

The NDA is delighted with the successful implementation of the auction and the ongoing level of interest for the disposal of land adjacent to three existing nuclear sites at Bradwell in Essex, Oldbury in South Gloucestershire and Wylfa in Anglesey.

Sam Hounslow, Project Manager for the NDA sale said:

“We are pleased that the innovative process applied to the sale is working well. The level of competition for the three sites has obvious benefits for both the NDA and UK taxpayer as a result of the revenue being generated.”

Proceeds from the auction, which will reopen on Tuesday 14 April, will assist the NDA to help fund the cost of decommissioning and to further its core mission.

The NDA will make further announcements as appropriate.
