In response to the ongoing recovery operations at the Fukushima nuclear facility in Japan, the UK Government has made clear its willingness to offer assistance wherever possible.

As a result, the Government has today requested that the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) make preparations to supply the Japanese authorities with a range of radiological measurement and protection equipment from its sites.

Sellafield Ltd is coordinating a response to this request on behalf off the NDA and is currently undertaking an assessment of the equipment available throughout the NDA estate. While every effort is being made to efficiently marshal as much equipment as possible, at no time will this lead to a reduction in minimum equipment levels or emergency response capability at any UK nuclear sites.

For further information please contact the Sellafield Ltd press office on 019467 85838/36/39/42/48.
