The groundbreaking approach within the nuclear decommissioning industry has set exemplary standards for decommissioning nuclear facilities. It has been assessed by 'Constructing Excellence' as an exemplar of multi-partnership working within the nuclear sector.

Dave Wilson, Trawsfynydd's Site Director, said: "This is a significant award and one which will help Magnox deliver the site into early care and maintenance - in line with our Optimised Decommissioning Plan. We look forward to working closely with the ACTUS JV."

Clive White, Vice President of AMEC's Nuclear Business, said: "This is a significant milestone and cements the JV at the forefront of one of the key areas of focus for Magnox in the UK decommissioning programme. I am confident that the skill and expertise of the ACTUS members will deliver a world class service for a very important customer."
