The Westinghouse Electric Company announced this week that it has opened a new United Kingdom office to support its contracts at the Sellafield site. Most recently, the company won a contract to help in the transferring of sludge from the First Generation Magnox Storage Pond to a new £240 million state-of-the-art sludge storage plant. “The new office will both facilitate the delivery of existing contracts and be a place from which we can service new decommissioning and remediation contracts we are determined to win,” Westinghouse Vice President and Managing Director for the United Kingdom, Middle East, and Egypt Dave Unsworth said in a statement. “We have long had an ambition to open an office in West Cumbria and we believe that the time is now right for us to do this. We are incredibly proud of the contracts we have won from Sellafield Ltd, where we are bringing our global decommissioning and remediation capability to help tackle some of the high hazard challenges on the site.”
