reactors and decommissioning efforts
DALLAS, Sept. 22,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Jacobs (NYSE:J) was selected as
full lifecycle delivery partner to support infrastructure renewal
projects at various facilities run by the U.K.'s government owned,
but operationally independent, National Nuclear Laboratory

NNL estimates the contract value at $12
million (£10 million) and the initial contract term is one
year with the options for three additional one-year extensions.

research and development capability remains world-class," said

deep knowledge of nuclear engineering design and our decades-long
experience of operating our own 12,000 square meter complex of
laboratories and test rigs in Warrington,
U.K."
NNL's facilities support new reactor build and existing reactor
operations as well as decommissioning, clean-up and fuel processing
plants, and handling and inspection services for nuclear
material.
