The document discusses the engineering challenges of the 20th, 21st, and 22nd centuries at Sellafield Ltd, including supporting the war effort in the 1940s, harnessing nuclear power in the 1950s, completing the nuclear fuel cycle in the 1960s, and current and future decommissioning and hazard reduction projects. Sellafield Ltd has 11 major projects underway worth over £350 million annually and plans to transform the site over the next 100 years to leave it safe and environmentally sound for future generations. The skills and knowledge developed at Sellafield will enable the UK to be at the forefront of nuclear technology globally.

4. ∗ A very brief history of Sellafield Ltd
∗ “to work out where you’re going, it helps to know
where you came from”
∗ Some understanding of the challenge – and the
opportunities – that lie ahead
∗ Whats in it for You? – a chance to hear the story, see
the direction and decide if you might want to be a
part of it one day
What is today about?

5. Our past…
THE ENGINEERING CHALLENGE OF THE 20th CENTURY

6. Supporting the war effort – 1940
The Sellafield site has been
operational since the 1940s
In September 1947 work began on the
construction of the Windscale Piles and
its two air cooled reactors.
THE ENGINEERING CHALLENGE OF THE 20th CENTURY

7. ∗ The Sellafield site was
used as a Royal
Ordinance Factory
supporting the war
effort and the National
Defence Programme
∗ By March 1952 the
Windscale reactors
were in operation
producing
plutonium for
military purposes.
THE ENGINEERING CHALLENGE OF THE 20th CENTURY

8. Harnessing the power – 1950
In 1952 the decision was made to
build a commercial sized nuclear
power station
Construction of the Calder Hall
power station commenced in 1953
THE ENGINEERING CHALLENGE OF THE 20th CENTURY

9. ∗ Her Majesty the Queen
opened Reactor 1 at
Calder Hall in October
1956
∗ Calder Hall
successfully
operated until 2003
after nearly 46 years
of electricity
generation.
THE ENGINEERING CHALLENGE OF THE 20th CENTURY

10. Completing the fuel cycle - 1960
Construction of the WAGR
WAGR began operating in 1963 and was
closed down in 1981 and celebrated
completing its decommissioning
programme in 2011.
THE ENGINEERING CHALLENGE OF THE 20th CENTURY

11. ∗ The Thermal Oxide
Reprocessing Plant
(Thorp) was completed
in December 1992 and
granted permission to
operate in March 1994,
with the full consent to
operate given in 1997
∗ In 1994 construction
work started on the
Sellafield Mixed
Oxide Plant (Mox)
Plant
THE ENGINEERING CHALLENGE OF THE 20th CENTURY

12. Present Day…
The Sellafield site is one of the biggest construction sites
in the UK – Within 5 years we will be the biggest in Europe
Our challenges are almost always industry firsts.
Hazard reduction is incredibly demanding technically, calling for
vision, imagination and expertise.
The complexity of each project is unmatched anywhere else in the
nuclear sector.
THE ENGINEERING CHALLENGE OF THE 21st CENTURY

13. We are NOT just about legacy and
decommissioning!
THE ENGINEERING CHALLENGE OF THE 21st CENTURY

14. 11 Major Projects
We currently have 11 major projects either in design or construction,
with more than £350 million per year invested.
