The AECOM Nuclear Waste Team currently have a Graduate Waste Consultant role available in our Manchester office from June 27 onwards.
The AECOM Nuclear Waste Team provide consultancy to the nuclear industry. We provide decommissioning, radioactive waste and associated environmental consultancy to clients in the UK and abroad covering new nuclear build at the design stage through to decommissioning and environmental site restoration, which can involve:
An example UK project involved undertaking a review of selected nuclear sites to determine what their current Low Level Waste management practices are; and, what challenges they had faced, were facing or anticipate facing, with regards to them scaling up for decommissioning, recognising that nuclear sites will have built up their waste management infrastructure, often over many decades, to support their organisation’s operational activities.
As sites transition from operations to decommissioning there is a shift in the quantity, type and characterisation requirements of the waste arising, and this could bring stresses on waste management capability. The project was able to pinpoint where strategies could be developed that might appropriately support nuclear sites in their waste management practices as transition to decommissioning occurs, or as existing decommissioning activities accelerate.
