Sellafield Ltd

What is our mission?

In operating, developing, and decommissioning the Sellafield site, we are also delivering the largest environmental restoration project in Europe. In short, we solve complex nuclear, engineering, and infrastructure challenges for the UK every single day.

At Sellafield we are:

All our activities are driven by a single purpose: to create a clean and safe environment for future generations.
