|
BNFL/1773/2001 24 May 2002 BNFL and the German Utility E.ON have today signed contracts covering the supply of MOX fuel and associated recycling services. A key element of the package of contracts is the commitment by E.ON to convert all of their separated plutonium arisings at Sellafield into MOX fuel in the Sellafield MOX Plant (SMP). This further contract for SMP will be the largest single MOX fuel contract for SMP to date and will utilise a significant proportion of the plant capacity over the coming years. Commenting on the agreement, BNFLs Chief Executive Norman Askew said "This new MOX contract is a major step forward for BNFL and E.ON, and confirms that there is a strong customer demand for MOX fuel from SMP. I am delighted that we have signed such an important contract with E.ON, who are one of our largest customers. " A Heads of Agreement was signed with E.ON last year for this business, the details of which have now been formalised with the signature of contracts.
