A better place for people and wildlife
Act to reduce climate change and its consequences
Protect andimprove air, landand water quality
Put people andcommunitiesat the heart of
what we do
Work withbusinesses and the public sector to use
resources wisely
Be the best we can
Our Aim
To achieve this we will

Act to reduce Climate Change and its Consequences
We will know we are succeeding when:
New nuclear power stations meet world class environmental
standards, and there is robust infrastructure delivering
progress in legacy decommissioning and clean-up, and
radioactive waste management and disposal.

Our decommissioning and clean up programme
Progress is made in dealing with the Nuclear Legacy
Reducing the risk to this generation and the burden on future generations
Covers all work that delivers these outcomes and will ensure continued protection of the environment

NDA site restoration strategy & plan
Strategy - achievement of aims and objectives
Protection of the environment (sustainability)
Reduction of hazard and risk (priority)
Early or deferred decommissioning (funding)
Decade by decade schedule (transparency)
Milestones – interim states (accountability)
Plan - risk mitigation, realising opportunities and issue resolution (value for money)
![Page 12: Peter Orr, decommissioning and clean up programme manager, Environment Agency](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032709/5681315e550346895d97d454/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Supporting strategies
Fuels and materials (both a legacy and opportunity to use assets for revenue)
Waste (the main challenge)
Knowledge management (doing it better)
Public stakeholder engagement (gaining support and new ideas)
Commercial (leveraging innovation)
![Page 13: Peter Orr, decommissioning and clean up programme manager, Environment Agency](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032709/5681315e550346895d97d454/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Risks and mitigation
Major event or accident Risk stabilisation (asset care) and reduction plan
Disposal infrastructure National Integrated Waste strategy
Funding Agreed site restoration plan
Road map for innovation
Milestones drive new approaches and research
Best practice Leveraging international practice (standardising)
