Persons with Control other than the NDA

Nuclear Decommissioning Authority did not have the information requested.

Darryl J Lee (Mr.)

Dear Nuclear Decommissioning Authority,

If it is possible to answer this question as a Request under the Freedom of Information Act, I'd like to know: How many contracts between the NDA and a “Person with Control” of an installation, site of facility is there currently in force?

An approximate number will be sufficient.

Yours faithfully,

Dear Mr Lee

I'm afraid I don't know what you mean by " contracts between the NDA and a “Person with Control” of an installation, site of facility".

Can you please elaborate or explain further what information it is you require?

If this relates to the NDA sites i.e. Site License Companies, then all of those contracts are published on our website - https://www.gov.uk/government/organisati...

Dear Enquiries,

Good afternoon Judith I'll try to clarify for you.

"Person with Control" (of an Installation , Site of Facility) is defined by The Energy Act 2004 at Section 36.3 but essentially it includes a Site Licence-holder or an owner or occupier. (It's quite a long legal definition perhaps I should copy it below for ease of reference).

To simplify the task, I think appropriate to narrow my Request to those "Persons with Control" as described in section 36(3) (d) to (h) but you need not include (f) (The Secretary of State).
So, How many Persons with Control (within the class of Persons with control at Section 36(3) (d) to (h) (ignoring (f) are under a contract with the NDA in relation to decommissioning and / or cleaning-up of any Designated Site/s?.

I hope this helps. And I apologise for the length of this clarification.

Thanks Judith.

Darryl

Dear Mr Lee

We've published a useful table which lists NDA sites and who is the "Owner" or "SLC"
https://www.gov.uk/government/organisati...

It does sound like it is the contracts with Site License Companies that you are interested in and as previously communicated those contracts are published on our website. We do have in addition contracts with subsidiaries and with Westinghouse in relation to Springfields and URENCO re. Capenhurst. All this information can be found via the link provided.
