A team of engineers from Sellafield have been recognised for their innovative work on a project to improve the safety of nuclear waste storage.
The team, led by Principal Engineer Mark Taylor, were presented with the Nuclear Innovation Award at the British Engineering and Construction Business Council (BECBC) Awards in London last night.
The award was given in recognition of the team’s work on the Advanced Fuel Conditioning Facility (AFCF), which will safely treat and store nuclear waste from Sellafield’s reprocessing plants.
The AFCF is a complex and challenging project, and the team’s innovative approach has been essential to its success. They have developed new techniques for handling and processing nuclear waste, and have also designed and built new equipment to improve the safety and efficiency of the facility.
Mark Taylor said: “We are delighted to have won this award. It is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the team, and to the innovative approach that we have taken to this project.”
“The AFCF is a vital part of Sellafield’s mission to clean up the nuclear waste legacy from the past, and we are proud to be playing our part in this important work.”
The BECBC Awards are one of the most prestigious events in the engineering and construction industry. The awards recognise excellence in innovation, sustainability, and safety.
Sellafield is a major nuclear reprocessing and waste management site in Cumbria, England. The site is home to a number of nuclear reactors and waste storage facilities. Sellafield is also responsible for the clean-up of the nuclear waste legacy from the past.
