Accountant needed for nuclear clean-up

Nuclear Decommissioning Authority after chief accountant to control £2.8bn spend

Written by Paul Grant

The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority is on the lookout for a chief accountant to help with the cost-effective clean-up of Britain's defunct nuclear fission power plants.

Based in West Cumbria, the NDA wants an accountant capable of handling the body's £2.8bn spend and ensuring the appropriate reporting systems are in place to account for it. IFRS experience is essential.

The NDA is responsible for sites such as Sellafield, Magnox and Dounreay and is tasked with delivering savings in the decommissioning of such site and where possible accelerating the process.

It aims to do this by introducing innovation and world class contractor expertise through a series of competitions similar to the model that has been used in the US.

In 2006 is estimated that the cost of cleaning up Britain's nuclear legacy would be £72bn over 100 years.
