Legal Justification

The requirements for this Framework require a UK Laboratory facility and the specialist skills and resources of the National Nuclear Laboratory, the Framework has been developed in line with these requirements in mind. Powders samples may be required for testing and are located at Sellafield Limited, and the NNL’s Central Laboratory facility on the site is the only location where appropriate samples can be obtained. NDA will engage NNL for the Laboratory Related and Research and Experimental Services.
