Procedure rationaleSellafield Ltd is responsible for the safe storage and management of nuclear waste. The Box Encapsulation Plant receives waste packages and conditions these for longer term storage. Robotics are utilised to support the delivery of the operations in the Boc Encapsulation Plant in order to minimise human exposure to radiological risk. Kuka are discontinuing the model of robot utilised in the Box Encapsulation Plant. As the model forms part of a functional integrated system, additional supplies of the robots are being procured to provide resilience to the ongoing operation of the Box Encapsulation Plant. As Kuka hold the intellectual property for the robots this award is made pursuant to Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) and Regulation 32(2)(b)(iii).
