Asbestos Innovation Partnership

The NDA is looking for the supply chain to develop an innovative solution that converts<br/>asbestos and asbestos-containing materials (ACM), that are currently considered as wastes with<br/>significant chemo-toxic properties, into an inert product that can be re-used. The requirement is to<br/>primarily treat radiologically-contaminated Asbestos / ACM up to, and including that classified as,<br/>Intermediate Level Waste. The scope includes highly friable material. It is expected that the technology<br/>developed will also be applicable to non-radiologically contaminated asbestos / ACM and this may prevent<br/>significant quantities having to be sent to licenced hazardous landfills.<br/>Although primarily aimed at NDA estate wastes, the service may be accessible to non-NDA estate<br/>organisations in the UK Nuclear Industry.
