Our purpose is to keep Sellafield safe and secure, cleaning-up the site to a defined end state.  

From cleaning-up the country’s highest nuclear risks and hazards to safeguarding nuclear fuel, materials and waste, our mission is nationally important.

• Retrievals: we are retrieving nuclear waste, fuel and sludge that are stored inside our legacy ponds and silos, the highest risks and hazards at Sellafield
• Remediation: beyond the legacy ponds and silos, we have hundreds of nuclear and non-nuclear facilities at Sellafield that need to be cleaned-up
• Spent nuclear fuel management: we currently reprocess spent nuclear fuel. That means taking the fuel that has been used inside a nuclear power station and extracting the individual component parts of plutonium, uranium and waste. In future we will store fuel instead of reprocessing it
• Special nuclear materials: we have the facilities and expertise to provide safe, secure and appropriate storage for special nuclear materials

Operating the Sellafield site also includes:

• Nuclear waste management: we are the only organisation who can safely manage all three forms of nuclear waste: high, intermediate and low
• Infrastructure: our day-to-day operations at Sellafield rely on the availability of a range of services, from an on-site laundry to a comprehensive rail network
