What happened
United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority awarded this contract to Aquila Nuclear Engineering Limited on 25 Jul 2024.
Description
UKAEA has recently awarded a contract to build the Prototype Glove Box No.1 system. This glovebox will be used to evaluate options for remote handling of nuclear and other hazardous materials. Operational trials on Glove Box No.1 will commence in early October. The findings from these trials will be used to inform the range of improvements that need to be incorporated into the second glove box system.
Detailed definition of the changes required between Glove Box No.1 and Glove Box No.2 are expected to be known by December 2023. The Representative Glove Box No.2 system needs to be delivered and installed in UKAEA’s Culham site ready for the next phase of trials due to start in August 2024.
UKAEA's preferred design of contract for Glove Box 2 is for a single contract to be awarded for the design, assembly and commissioning of Glove Box 2.
Before the design of tender is finalised, UKAEA is seeking feedback from the market on this option.
