9. 10 and 20 year expectations (AS AT 2011)
During the next 10 years (by 2021) we expect:
all Magnox stations to have been defuelled and spent fuel reprocessed to a long-term stable form
three of the Magnox sites to have entered the Care and Maintenance phase in readiness for Final Site Clearance
significant progress to have been made on high hazard reduction programmes, this includes progress with the retrieval of materials from Legacy Ponds and Silos at Sellafield.
the management of all NDA sites to have been competed
all NDA’s non core assets to have been disposed of
to commence Surface-Based Investigations Phase for the Geological Disposal Facility (GDF).

10. 10 and 20 year expectations (AS AT 2011)
During the next 20 years (by 2031) we expect:
all other Magnox sites to have entered Care and Maintenance
decommissioning to have been completed at Harwell and Winfrith
at Dounreay, all ILW to have been removed from the shaft and all residues from the Dounreay Fast Reactor (DFR)
at LLWR, the Plutonium Contaminated Material (PCM) facilities to have been removed
confirmation of a site’s suitability to host a Geological Disposal Facility that complies with safety and environmental regulatory requirements, and commence the Construction and Underground Investigations Phase.

13. Strategy development infrastructure - SDIG, TOGs, underpinning groups and R&D interfaces

14. 1 Feedback Received - Positive
Strategy development infrastructure has served us well, thematic approach is good, MOD has adopted similar.
Overall shape and structure of strategy development mechanics is comprehensive and involves participation from the relevant parties.
Engagement works well - TOGs are a good fora.
Gated process is good.
Engagement with NDA on strategic issues good, MOD continues to increase participation in TOGs.
NDA strategy team people are professional, proactive and pivotal.
SDIG provides helpful briefing and opportunity for discussion.
Strategy content is good – no issues.

15. 1 Feedback Received - Suggestions

16. 2 Further improvements planned for 2013
Create a Site Restoration Roadmap in order to provide better visibility of the strategic issues and risks that drive our Strategy Development work.
Create and maintain an integrated strategy development workplan for use at SDIG and TOGs.
Report progress against the strategy development workplan.
Make NDA’s Strategic decision calendars (and SLC decision calendars) more visible and accessible.  
Use strategic tolerances and dashboards to provide Strategy implementation feedback to SDIG
Critical enablers TOG - make it work.
Start to consider approach to next version of NDA’s published strategy.

17. Site Restoration Roadmap – within the Strategy Development Cycle

18. Site Restoration Roadmap
What is a roadmap?
A communication tool that conveys the restoration strategy for our estate. It demonstrates the key milestones to be achieved and the attributes of each site as restoration progresses.
What will it be used for?
To provide an accessible, clear representation of the restoration journey for each of our sites.
To inform NDA’s strategy development planning, by helping us to systematically identify risks and opportunities in the current plans and allowing us to map out the consequence of implementing strategic alternatives.
Our current strategy development priorities are developed using expert professional judgement but would benefit from a roadmap to help with systematic identification of risks and opportunities
