To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what the reasons are for the increase in costs of £1.6 billion by Cavendish Fluor Partnership for the clean-up project for 12 Magnox reactors.
Answered by Jesse Norman
- Shadow Leader of the House of Commons
The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority’s (NDA’s) contract with Cavendish Fluor Partnership (CFP) contains a provision to allow for a period of consolidation between the NDA and CFP, ensuring the contract is in line with delivery on the ground.
The NDA’s consolidation process has not yet concluded and therefore it is not appropriate to comment on this figure.

The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) is Government’s primary assurance body providing challenge and oversight of the site’s major projects and procurements. Government monitors the NDA closely to hold it to account, ensure it is delivering high quality work and that it is value for money.
The NDA has sought leave to appeal the 29 July judgement. It is therefore not appropriate for the Government to comment further.
