The NDA owns and occupies substantial amounts of land that could be returned to communities...
Conclusion
The NDA owns and occupies substantial amounts of land that could be returned to communities or exploited for commercial or socially beneficial use, and could provide employment in nearby communities. For example, at its Harwell site the NDA said it had been able to excavate and give 50 acres of land back to be used for a new vaccine manufacturing centre. The NDA is also looking at opportunities to use land from its sites for green power generation including with hydrogen plants or solar farms. The NDA is aware of more land which could be returned but faces ongoing challenges with understanding and managing the hazards.21 21 Qq 21, 76, 79 The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority’s management of the Magnox contract 13 2 Meeting the future challenges of nuclear decommissioning Shortages of the right skills
