The NDA manages cleanup of 17 sites: 14 in England and Wales and three in Scotland. The Energy Act of 2004 requires the agency to review its strategy every five years. The NDA expects to publish a finalized strategy in April.

Total government funding for NDA in the the five-year span is projected at £64.3 billion. Total decommissioning and cleanup costs are set at £69.9 billion, while commercial revenue is projected at £12 billion. Total operations costs is listed as £6.3 billion, and net running costs are listed at £5.6 billion.

The draft strategy states that supply chain development initiatives “have resulted in a collaborative procurement programme amounting to £2.8 billion of spend and delivering over £140 million savings since 2010.” In the past three years, according to the NDA, the organization has exceeded targets for increasing levels of spending with small to medium-sized enterprises, “reaching almost £1 billion.”
