Cavendish Nuclear and Amentum, in a joint venture (JV), have been selected to build a new facility at the Port of Workington to treat sodium coolant from a nuclear reactor in Japan. The work is subject to planning and regulatory permissions, and would treat material from the Monju Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor (FBR), in Fukui Prefecture, Japan. It is part of a wider project to support the Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) with the decommissioning of the Monju reactor, which was closed in December 1995, but was restarted in 2010. The new facility will be built and operated by a JV formed of the two firms and will "support skilled jobs both directly and more widely across the supply chain, contributing significantly to the local economy", said a statement from Cumberland Council, which Council owns and operates the port. It added that the plans for the sodium treatment facility follows on from works carried out at the port and nearby Oldside to clear land in preparation for other development in future. Thomas Armstrong Construction is carrying out the land clearance work for Cumberland Council and the work is being funded by approximately £4.5M in government funding as part of the Workington Town Deal. The land clearance works are part of "a wider regeneration project which includes the Workington Gateway and the opening up of better transport links in the town centre", the council said.
