Description

The NDA is looking for the supply chain to develop an innovative solution that converts
asbestos and asbestos-containing materials (ACM), that are currently considered as wastes with
significant chemo-toxic properties, into an inert product that can be re-used. The requirement is to
primarily treat radiologically-contaminated Asbestos / ACM up to, and including that classified as,
Intermediate Level Waste. The scope includes highly friable material. It is expected that the technology
developed will also be applicable to non-radiologically contaminated asbestos / ACM and this may prevent
significant quantities having to be sent to licenced hazardous landfills.
Although primarily aimed at NDA estate wastes, the service may be accessible to non-NDA estate
organisations in the UK Nuclear Industry.

Whilst this is advertised as a services contract, Goods and works will apply.
