Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, when the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority is scheduled to next formally review each of its Parent Body Organisation contracts.

The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) will be terminating the Sellafield Parent Body Organisation (PBO) arrangement with Nuclear Management Partners. The position of the other contracts is as follows:

· The Low Level Waste Repository PBO contract will be reviewed ahead of the next contract break point in March 2018.

· No formal review of the Dounreay Site Restoration Limited (DSRL) PBO contract, which is to take the site to its interim end state, is currently scheduled.

The Magnox / Research Sites Restoration Limited PBO contract is for up to 14 years; there is no formal review point but the NDA can terminate for convenience.
