Dipesh Shah leaves UKAEA | Print |  E-mail
Dipesh Shah, UKAEA Chief Executive, announced that he will not be extending his contract when his current 3 year term expires in November.

He said: "I have thoroughly enjoyed my term at UKAEA and, with the support of staff, we have achieved some notable successes. We have developed radical new plans that bring forward the decommissioning of our sites by up to 35 years and reduce the cost to the tax-payer by over £1 billion. We won Ministerial approval for our business plan to create a vibrant, competitive new British company and we entered into an alliance with world-class businesses, AMEC and CH2MHILL. We played a key role in the international fusion effort; and taken forward the vision for the Harwell Science and Innovation Campus to create the premier such campus in the UK."

UKAEA Chairman, Barbara Thomas Judge, added: "On behalf of the Board I want to be first to thank Dipesh for his important contribution to UKAEA's development and for his leadership of our executive team that is now poised to make UKAEA a major player in the international nuclear clean-up market.

"The Board is now engaged in the process of identifying a successor."
