Nuclear Decommissioning

Advancing nuclear clean-up.

Following the decommissioning of Windscale Advanced Gas-cooled Reactor (WAGR) heat exchangers, Shepley have operated in this sector for over 25 years and currently provide mechanical and electrical construction, dismantling and decommissioning services involving the deployment of a highly skilled and experienced workforce and support staff.

We are currently engaged at a number of nuclear licensed sites across the UK, where our responsibilities range from design and build projects to operational asset support through to major decommissioning project delivery. We have delivered over 160 decontamination and technical projects across the UK and internationally.

What we do.

The Shepley decommissioning teams offer a unique blend of practical and conventional decommissioning experience together with a safe and proven track record involving the introduction of new and innovative technologies where these are appropriate. This flexible approach to challenging decommissioning tasks combined with our proven programme management capabilities provide our various clients with effective and reduced risk solutions. We offer a cradle to grave service across a range of small, medium and very large nuclear decommissioning projects.
