## Summary

The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority is looking for an organisation to develop a Characterisation Plan for the JET estate to support decommissioning activities. The procurement involves services in the field of apparatus for measuring radiation and related areas. The tender is currently in the planning stage, with a deadline for tender submission set for 31st January 2023. The contract period is scheduled to start on 3rd March 2023 and end on 1st September 2023, providing an opportunity for organisations interested in contributing to nuclear decommissioning projects.

This tender by the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority offers business growth opportunities for firms specialising in radiation measurement apparatus, contamination monitoring devices, architectural services, and quantity surveying services. Small and medium-sized enterprises are particularly suited for participation. The tender presents a chance to be involved in the decommissioning and repurposing project of the JET estate, addressing radiation hazards, beryllium contamination, and neutron activation. Interested businesses can explore the potential offered by this open procedure procurement method with a focus on services in radiation protection and architectural services for nuclear projects.

## Notice

The JET Decommissioning and Repurposing (JDR) Programme is seeking an organisation to develop a Characterisation Plan (CP) for the JET estate to underpin strategic planning of decommissioning activities. This document summarises the expected scope and boundaries of the CP activity, key deliverables, and relevant information. The JET estate consists of a large number of buildings which are used to support the operation of the JET reactor. Many of the facilities in the JET estate are non-radiological and non-beryllium contaminated and simply provide services such as power, heat, and office space for the JET programme. There are known areas of beryllium contamination, heightened neutron activation, and airborne tritium concentration which are key areas of interest in terms of decommissioning.
