Balfour Beatty and Costain win £300 million nuclear contract

Magnox is responsible for electricity generation at Wylfa, Oldbury and Maentwrog, defuelling at Chapelcross, Dungeness A and Sizewell A, and the decommissioning of Hunterston A, Berkeley, Hinkley Point A, Bradwell and Trawsfynydd. It handles this work for the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority.

Magnox commercial manager Mel Jones said the deal represented “value for the UK taxpayer”.

The five year contract has a five year extension option.
