Cavendish said the contract builds on its experience of decommissioning fast reactors in the UK. The company will use the skills and experience gained during the decommissioning of the fast reactors at Dounreay, which are at an advanced stage of cleanout and dismantling.
The main elements of the contract with JAEA involve technical support for creating a lifetime plan for the decommissioning of Monju and a feasibility study into the treatment of sodium coolant from the Monju site.
