Project Overview: The Box Encapsulation Plant (BEP) project at the Sellafield Site is a critical component of Sellafield's 100-year clean-up programme. This plant will encapsulate nuclear waste from the site's original waste plants in concrete, allowing for safe and modern storage. The primary focus is on waste from the Magnox Swarf Storage Silo, with additional responsibilities for waste from the First Generation Magnox Storage Pond, the Pile Fuel Storage Pond, and the Pile Fuel Cladding Silo.
Project Objective: The BEP Joint Venture project aims to safely design and deliver a plant that conditions wastes from various donor plants. The work must meet contractual requirements, align with the employer's needs, and satisfy stakeholders involved in the Box Encapsulation Project (BEP).
