10. DSRL Decommissioning Framework
10
UK
• In 2013 NDSL (now GDES) was awarded a
framework by DSRL to provide decommissioning
services following a similar framework which was
held from August 2010 building upon an even
earlier framework for operatives in 2007. The
scope of the new framework potentially includes:
o Full turnkey decommissioning projects
o FEED studies
o Provision of Decommissioning Teams
• The framework operates through ‘mini –
competitions’ and for the current tranche (up to
2017) NDSL is providing the largest team (~80
personnel) on the Dounreay site.
• The teams are allocated through the GDES
Labour Allocation Manager (co-located with DSRL
on site) across the site in Reactors (DFR & PFR)
and the Fuel Cycle Area (FCA).
• As a result the teams are experienced in
working in a variety of hazardous environments
including Alpha (PCM), Alkali metals and Beta /
Gamma.

12. UK
• Serves 12 separate facilities in the
Fuel Cycle Area and is connected to
17 individual active and non-active
ventilation systems
• Enabled the transfer of all systems
from the original centralised system
in the course of a weekend with
minimal disruption
• The system has a capacity of 84 m3/s
• NDSL came up with the concept
design and developed that into a
comprehensive scheme design
