Workington-based TSP Engineering has been awarded a £30m contract to manufacture nuclear waste containers for Sellafield Ltd.

The 50-tonne, lead-lined containers will transfer nuclear waste from the legacy Magnox Swarf Storage Silo to newly built storage facilities on the site. This new work is expected to create or sustain approximately 200 jobs at TSP Engineering. Alongside other orders placed with the business, the work will bring the TSP Engineering workforce to more than 250 people.
Martin Chown, CEO of Sellafield Ltd, says: “TSP’s success in winning this contract proves our nuclear supply chain can compete with the best in the world.”
