Babcock wins UK nuclear clean-up deal

#Energy British engineering contractors and US group Fluor given £7bn contract covering sites such as Hinkley, Sizewell and Dungeness

Britain has awarded a 14-year, £7bn contract to manage the decommissioning of its nuclear sites to engineering contractors Babcock and US group Fluor. The deal covers some of Britain's oldest nuclear power sites, including Hinkley, Sizewell and Dungeness, and is one of the largest contracts the country has put out to tender.

Britain's Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) said the contract should save at least £1bn from the previous contract, handled by EnergySolutions for the past 14 years.
