Supporting the Decommissioning of Berkeley Nuclear Power Station
Berkeley Nuclear Power Station was the UK’s first commercial nuclear power station to be decommissioned. The site requires a range of specialist engineering support to manage dismantling, waste processing and safety-critical operations.
Mayflower Engineering has delivered a series of bespoke design and manufacturing projects for Tier 2 contractors working on the Berkeley site. These projects demanded precision, robust quality standards and innovative engineering solutions within a highly regulated environment.
Mayflower’s Role
Vault Camera & Light Assembly
Design and fabrication of a shielded camera and lighting system, enabling safe remote inspection of confined areas during decommissioning.
Pre-processing Module Shielded Assemblies
Engineered sophisticated systems to turn and position bars precisely so operators could access and remove defects efficiently and safely.
Overpack Assembly
Manufacture of a large containment system, designed to safely house and transport redundant nuclear components.
Package 33 Lighting Port and Cable Penetrations
Precision-engineered penetrations and fittings to allow safe installation of lighting and cabling systems within shielded areas, ensuring both operational efficiency and safety.
