Control of Britain's most controversial nuclear site, Sellafield, will move into the private sector through the sale of its state-owned operator, British Nuclear Group, the government will announce tomorrow.

The ยฃ1bn disposal will come alongside wider plans to hand over decommissioning of atomic sites around the country to private companies amid confirmation that clean-up costs have soared to more than ยฃ70bn. Industry secretary Alan Johnson will unveil the plans at a time when he is still in the middle of an energy review and yet to decide whether to go ahead with a new generation of nuclear power plants.

 

He will tell parliament he has given the green light to the basic clean-up strategy drawn up by the new Nuclear Decommissioning Authority to solve the UK's clean-up - a pre-condition to new plants being built. Mr Johnson will reveal a slightly revised and slower timetable but the NDA will oversee contracts being parcelled out to private companies, likely to include US giants such as Bechtel and Fluor.

The first contract will be to oversee the low-level waste site at Drigg in Cumbria currently looked after by BNG, the main operating arm of British Nuclear Fuels Ltd.

A tender is expected to go out shortly and an award could be made this year while Sellafield tenders are expected to go out in 2007 as part of the BNG privatisation. There was talk of breaking the Sellafield clean-up contract into two but the government has decided against this, according to Whitehall sources.

There have been so many dark mil/police helicopters over LA lately. Every morning and evening, and today it was five or six times. Some were flying too high fir me to tell if they were dark or just the usual news helicopters.
