Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the answer of 8 September 2026 to Question 22837 on Army: Digital Technology, what was the full scope of Project Janus.

Project JANUS was established to deliver a new build plutonium sort, segregation and storage facility, with delivery undertaken by AWE on behalf of the MOD. Project JANUS became a part of the Future Materials Campus (FMC) Programme in August 2023. FMC’s programmatic approach identified an alternative capability delivery approach, which has since been adopted, utilising existing facilities at AWE to deliver the required capability.
