Nuclear decommissioning supply chain conference

Manchester, UK

12-13 April 2010

“The UK decommissioning market is worth £2.8bn a year with approximately £1.3bn entering the supply chain below the SLCs” (Figures from the NDA website, 2009) Get set to take your slice of the multibillion pound nuclear decommissioning market Nuclear decommissioning in the UK is now starting to roll out on a large scale, with several billion pounds worth of decommissioning contracts up for grabs in the near future. Massive monetary gains are on the table, but competition for contracts is fierce. You need to do everything you can to give your company the best possible chance of winning these lucrative deals. This is an emerging industry that has a pressing need for an efficient, reliable and innovative supply chain in order for government targets to be met and decommissioning projects to be completed on time and on budget. But help is at hand, the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) is helping the supply chain improve, and pushing the industry to ramp up efficiency and decrease costs. “We want to see a vibrant, efficient and competitive market at all levels, with better all-round communications” (Sam Dancy, Market Development Manager, NDA website, 23/10/09). And now in 2010 there is also the Nuclear Decommissioning Supply Chain Conference - giving you the chance to meet and connect with the vital members of this industry that you need to know. Cutting decommissioning costs - you can't do it alone The cost of decommissioning in the UK is estimated at £73bn and all nuclear reactors (except Sizewell B) are due for decommission by 2023. Clearly, the industry needs to cut costs, but it needs to do so without compromising safety or missing deadlines. This means that supply chain innovation is critical to success and the companies that get it right will be the ones landing the most decommissioning contracts in the years to come. SLCs and top tier contractors are focused on supply chain innovation and effective management of nuclear sites. Finding ways to cut costs without sacrificing quality is a vital challenge that no one company can solve on their own, the whole nuclear supply chain needs increased co-operation, idea sharing and improved communication. This is why you need to attend the Nuclear Decommissioning Supply Chain Conference, in Manchester, April 12th -13th 2010, because this is where the supply chain is coming together to hammer out tomorrow's decommissioning solutions. This unique 2-day UK event will bring together SLCs, expert contractors governing bodies and supply chain leaders. Attending this event will help your company seize opportunities, fend off growing competition and strengthen your market position.
