Reply with 'local flavor'. This would include places to eat, as well as other points of interest. If you have a weekly get together, post it here and invite other NukeWorkers in the area.

Next month, a £1bn contract to clean up Drigg is going out to tender.

Current operator BNG is the expected favourite, and this should stand it in good stead when much larger clean-up contracts come up for grabs.

"If you're the first-tier contract, you run the site," observes one industry official.

But BNG may have to share the spoils with others. On one level, there is a string of UK firms like Serco, Carillion and WS Atkins lining up to provide services.

"It's a big market and the Americans are keen to get involved," the industry official says, pointing out that in most cases, they are vastly more experienced than their British rivals.

Among BNG's leading contenders are the experienced US clean-up firms Fluor and Shaw.

But there are others too, most notably CH2M, which has teamed up with the UK engineering group Amec and with the government body UKAEA.

Bechtel is also expected to bid for clean-up contracts, though it cannot do so during the early stages as it helped create the NDA, which will be awarding the contracts during the next five years.

yesterday I spoke with EG&G and they said they had bid on some work as well, they will know more bye the end of the month what work and where. The talk is that marcom also has work in the UK as well, but have not made it public yet. There Is alot of upcoming work in the UK and I think in the next few months there will be alot more information out there. Anyone else out there heard any rumors?

Many companies will have a piece of the sub-contract pie. Initially, they will only be taking the "Experienced Professionals", of the highest levels (our D&D Project Managers, and Certified Health Physicists, for example), people that they can not higher locally. There is always a potential for employing technicians, but don't hold your breath, because they intend to employ them locally. There is no reason to pay us $500/ per diem when they can hire local technicians to do the job. What they lack, and are seeking, is the people that have run our major D&D projects.

welll yes and no, they have American technical people overthere now.. but you are right about the meter swinging tech-- they have lots of those.

Washington Group International (WGI) is also a current player at Drigg.

There is a great pub in downtown Kendal near Sellafield - Cumnberland sausage, jacketed potatoes and peas - and one of the best 60's and 70's rock invasion jukeboxes you'll ever see! Its about 0.5-1 mile from the Royal McDonald hotel there.
