We are delighted to welcome NRS to The Institute for Collaborative Working (ICW) Executive Network.
NRS is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority responsible for safely decommissioning the first-generation nuclear and research sites across the UK and restoring the sites for all our futures.
NRS also operates a hydro-electric power plant and are preparing to welcome the seven advanced gas-cooled reactor (AGR) sites, currently managed by EDF, for decommissioning. Hunterston B site, located in Scotland, will be the first AGR site to join NRS in April 2026, followed by the Hinkley Point B site, located in Somerset, in the autumn.
Dounreay, is located at the far north of Scotland and was Britain's former centre of fast reactor research and development. The experimental nature of many of its redundant facilities means the clean-up and demolition requires innovation as well as great care. The intention is to decommission Dounreay and leave it in a safe condition for future generations. The skills and enterprise it fosters are giving Scottish companies a platform to compete in the global decommissioning market.
Fiona Bruce, NRS Head of Commercial Strategy & Business Development, said: "At NRS, collaboration is fundamental to how we deliver our mission. As part of the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority group, we work collectively across our sites, our supply chain and our wider partners to safely, securely and sustainably decommission the UK’s earliest nuclear facilities.
"Joining the ICW Executive Network strengthens our commitment to building trusted, long‑term partnerships that support innovation, enhance capability, drive change and deliver greater value for our communities and the UK taxpayer. Through shared learning, transparency and a consistent focus on outcome‑based delivery, we aim to help shape a more collaborative culture across the nuclear sector - one that enables us all to achieve more, together."
Frank Lee, ICW's CEO said: "We are delighted to welcome Nuclear Restoration Services to our Executive Network. As a critically important organisation within the UK's nuclear landscape, NRS brings valuable expertise and leadership, and we look forward to working together to strengthen collaboration across the nuclear sector, delivering safer, more innovative and effective outcomes for the benefit of UK society and citizens."
