In its annual report for 2015-2016, the UK Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) said the estimated cost of the future clean-up of nuclear sites across the UK is around GBP117bn ($154bn) spread across the next 120 years, down slightly from last year’s estimate of GBP118bn. NDA is responsible for the UK’s civil public sector nuclear estate, encompassing 17 nuclear sites, their liabilities and assets. This includes the first generation of Magnox power stations, various research and fuel facilities and what the NDA says is its “largest, most complex site”, Sellafield. NDA owns the historic sites on the government's behalf and is responsible for deciding how they should be decommissioned. Decommissioning work is carried out by Site Licence Companies, working for the NDA.
