Asbestos Innovation Partnership Phase 1

The NDA is looking for the supply chain to develop an innovative solution that converts asbestos and asbestos-containing materials (ACM), that are currently considered as wastes with significant chemo-toxic properties, into an inert product that can be re-used. The requirement is to primarily treat radiologically-contaminated Asbestos / ACM up to, and including that classified as, Intermediate Level Waste. The scope includes highly friable material. It is expected that the technology developed will also be applicable to non-radiologically contaminated asbestos / ACM and this may prevent significant quantities having to be sent to licenced hazardous landfills. Although primarily aimed at NDA estate wastes, the service may be accessible to non-NDA estate organisations in the UK Nuclear Industry.

Whilst this is advertised as a services contract, Goods and works will apply.
