About Us

We are delivering against national safety, security and energy needs. In operating, developing, and decommissioning the Sellafield site, we are also delivering the largest environmental restoration project in Europe.

Welcome to Sellafield Ltd

In short, we solve complex nuclear, engineering, and infrastructure challenges for the UK every single day.

In the past, we have been responsible for breakthroughs such as the world’s first full-scale commercial nuclear power station, and today we are helping to keep lights on across the UK by safely receiving and storing spent nuclear fuel from the UK’s fleet of power stations.

Sellafield is the only site in the country that can safely manage all forms of nuclear waste, with our teams finding new ways to ensure it is kept safe until a permanent disposal facility is ready.

We are also guardians of the UK’s largest stockpile of nuclear materials. Our world-class engineers and nuclear professionals tackle these challenges with the same spirit of innovation that has always run through our organisation.

All our activities are driven by a single purpose: to create a clean and safe environment for future generations.


We deliver on that purpose while providing value to:

  • Our people – helping them to grow, develop and flourish;
  • Our communities – creating a positive social impact in West Cumbria, Warrington and beyond;
  • Our industry – supporting the nation’s nuclear infrastructure, completing our decommissioning mission, and shaping best-practice standards.
