This is a fantastic addition to Greatstone and we are proud to support a project that will benefit the community for years to come.
Residents have been settling into beach huts and sampling delicious ice cream at the new attraction, which also has public toilets and a remodelled car park.
The scheme with the support of @NDAgovuk through @NRServicesUK.

We're proud to have successfully completed a rail freight campaign supporting a major project in Cumbria.
Ahead of schedule, we've helped remove 17,000+ HGV journeys from local roads and save an estimated 700+ tonnes of CO₂.

We welcome this clear direction which sets out a vision for a regulatory environment which applies a proportionate, risk based approach & can support timely, cost effective decommissioning while maintaining the highest standards of safety, security and environmental protection.
For years our nuclear regulatory system hasn't worked.
Today that changes with our plan to implement the recommendations of the @JohnFingleton1 review.
47 reforms. One lead regulator. A faster path to new nuclear projects & clean, secure power.
Patrick Vallance explains 🎥
Our CEO David Peattie met with counterparts from the United States @EMcleanup and Canada’s @AECL_EACL at the @WMSymposia to discuss shared areas of focus including accelerating mission delivery, reducing costs, application of new tech and preparing our sites for their next use.
DOE-EM, @NDAgovuk & @AECL_EACL held a Trilateral Meeting at @WMSymposia to advance our 2020 agreement.
Focus: Accelerating cleanup, reducing risks & costs w/innovative tech and managing waste for new nuclear energy.
We're enhancing global nuclear cleanup through shared expertise.
We've published our latest strategy, our long‑term roadmap for the safe and secure decommissioning of the UK’s legacy nuclear sites - read it here ow.ly/vqai50YkXN2

Go behind the scenes of last night’s ITV Border feature on Spot, our quadrupedal robot. 🐾🤖
Spot is helping us safely inspect hazardous areas, capture high‑fidelity data, and support autonomous systems across Sellafield.
Thanks to everyone involved — and to Kieran MacFadzean for shining a light on the tech.

It was fantastic to see the @NDAgovuk representing the UK civil nuclear sector at the @Apprenticeships' National Apprenticeship Week Fair in the Houses of Parliament.
Seven NDA apprentices from across the UK attended and spoke to Baroness Smith, Minister for Skills, and @tobyperkinsmp, Chair of the Apprenticeships APPG, to highlight the breadth of skills and career opportunities offered by the nuclear sector.

Innovation at Sellafield is changing how nuclear clean‑up is done — making it safer, faster and more effective.
From four‑legged robots 🐾 to remotely operated vehicles, technology is helping us tackle complex challenges across the UK’s largest nuclear site.
By removing people from harm’s way, robotics help us work safer, quicker and more cost‑effectively.
Working with the NDA and partners, we’re sharing knowledge, scaling innovation and shaping a smarter, more sustainable future. 🌍🤝

As the organisation entrusted with the safe & secure management, storage, & disposal of the UK’s radioactive materials this demonstrates how we can go beyond our core mission, leveraging our capabilities, expertise & resources to create a lasting positive legacy for the nation.
From nuclear material to cancer treatments ❓
A deal between @Bicycle_tx and @NDAgovuk will unlock a new way to fight some of the hardest to treat cancers.
Experts will extract lead-212 from reprocessed uranium – a process developed by @UKNNL – to make cutting-edge radiotherapeutics.
We’re proud to be working alongside partners on this transformational project for Cleator Moor and West Cumbria.
The planning applications for the industrial units is another positive step towards creating a space for businesses to thrive.
Exciting progress for Cleator Moor as plans for two new high-quality industrial buildings for the @iSHcouk
Enterprise Campus in Cleator Moor have been submitted for planning approval.
Led by Cumberland Council, the initiative is supported by Government funding through Town Deal and Levelling Up programmes, alongside strategic partners including the @NDAgovuk and @SellafieldLtd.
The development of the site forms part of the wider regeneration programme being delivered across West Cumbria by iSH focused upon delivering economic growth opportunities around robotics, manufacturing and digital.
