2.1 Principal activities and future developments
These financial statements contain certain forward-looking statements with respect to the financial condition and business of Sellafield Limited (the company). Statements or forecasts relating to events in the future necessarily involve risk and uncertainty and are made by the company in good faith based on the information available at the date of signing this report. The company undertakes no obligation to update these forward-looking statements. Nothing in these financial statements should be construed as a profit forecast nor should past performances be relied upon as a guide to future performance. The principal role of the company is to operate the Sellafield nuclear site on behalf of the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) under a nuclear site licence issued by the Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR) in a safe, secure, efficient and cost- effective manner and in accordance with its baseline plan, corporate plan, and operating plan. It was more than 75 years ago that the company helped to create the nation’s nuclear deterrent. Today, it is using its unrivalled knowledge of nuclear to create a clean and safe environment for future generations. The company is responsible for the safe, secure, and sustainable stewardship of the Sellafield site and the nuclear materials, fuel and wastes stored there, for making progress in the clean-up of redundant facilities that pose a threat to the environment, and for delivering lifetime value for money through the investment made in the nuclear site. The company is a wholly owned subsidiary of the NDA. In accordance with the Energy Act 2004, NDA has tasked the company with carrying out activities set out in the NDA Designation of Sellafield. The company’s primary site is the Sellafield nuclear site in West Cumbria. The company also has an engineering, design and functional support capability at its Risley office, near Warrington, and several offices in the West Cumbrian community.
2.2 Review of the business
During the year the company incurred operating costs of £2,522 million (2021/22: £2,352 million). This expenditure is recoverable from the NDA and represents the operational costs of the Sellafield site including expenditure on: carrying out the environmental clean-up of the UK’s most complex and hazardous nuclear site, Sellafield decommissioning nuclear facilities receiving, reprocessing and storing used nuclear fuel managing the UK’s special nuclear materials delivering capital projects to support the mission asset care and maintenance – some of the facilities at Sellafield are more than 70 years old so significant investment is required to ensure that they remain operational and in a safe state prior to decommissioning the safe treatment of low level, intermediate level and high-level waste During 2022/23 the company made progress in meeting its targets and milestones set by the NDA, including high hazard reduction, nuclear operations, and safe, secure, sustainable site stewardship. Progress this year includes: successfully progressed work on major projects alongside supply chain partners made important progress in creating a clean and safe environment for future generations performed with passion, pride and pace and embraced the other themes in our manifesto Progress at pace brought operations in the Magnox reprocessing plant to a safe conclusion. started to retrieve nuclear waste from one of our legacy stores, the Magnox Swarf Storage Silo successfully brought the Silo Maintenance Facility (a building that will maintain equipment vital to the retrieval of waste from our most hazardous facilities) into active operations introduced human divers into one of our legacy storage ponds, the Pile Fuel Storage Pond, for the first time to help us in our mission to empty the pond used Evaporator Delta to reduce the volume of liquor held in our highly active storage tanks for the first time continued to invest in robotics, including remotely operated vehicles and unmanned aerial vehicles, to help us clean up legacy facilities while also limiting radiological exposure for our employees The company did not meet all its production targets in waste management and retrievals from Sellafield’s legacy storage ponds. These targets were impacted by the reliability of some of the site’s ageing facilities and by resource challenges. Improving performance across operational nuclear facilities is a priority for the 2023/24 financial year and the Board will support the Sellafield Ltd Executive team to achieve this aim. For further details on the progress made at Sellafield in 2022/23, please see our Review of the Year publication. Safe, secure, sustainable, site stewardship continued investment in electronic and hybrid vehicles, including hybrid locomotives for use on the Sellafield site, and e-bikes for use by employees on the Sellafield site developed our approach to assessing climate related risks (further details of which can be found in our Review of the Year publication) made progress on the construction of the Sellafield Packaging and Retreatment Plant that will support work to keep the country’s stockpile of special nuclear materials safe and secure continued to develop a cohesive approach to sustainability that brings together environment and social impact considerations introduced a new operating approach in the Fellside Combined Heat and Power Plant that resulted in a 41% reduction in energy use on the Sellafield site and associated carbon emissions reduction For further detail, see the section on our safety performance. Lifetime value for money £7.5 million investment through the company’s Social Impact, Multiplied (SiX) programme, and the delivery of the Sellafield Ltd Social Impact strategy. Key investments include: Transforming West Cumbria programme – the programme looks to build the resilience, capabilities and financial sustainability of Third Sector organisations in West Cumberland Mental Health Partnership – the creation and funding of a sustainable partnership model to services offering community support for people in West Cumberland experiencing mental health issues Supply Chain Social Impact alignment – in addition to direct funding, the company launched a social impact roundtable to ensure greater alignment between the work delivered by its social impact team and its suppliers who are delivering social value plans as part of their contractual obligations worked with supply chain partners in the Project and Programme Partners to deliver a reading programme designed to improve literacy attainment levels in West Cumbria and Warrington worked with community partners to refurbish derelict lighthouses in Whitehaven harbour recruited 300 apprentices across 20 career pathways continued to grow employee networks and invested in training aligned to a range of initiatives including promotion of mental health champions
2.3 Safety performance
The diverse range of our activities present every safety challenge imaginable, including thousands of people working at height, working to empty hazardous buildings that were never designed to be emptied, and working in the presence of radiation which is why the company continuously and consistently works with safety as its overriding priority, and why it considers and measures its performance in all facets of safety: nuclear, radiological, environmental, and conventional. Nuclear safety Within its focus on safety, when making operational decisions, nuclear safety is the company’s priority above all others. The company has real time measures in place to monitor its nuclear safety and, on an annual basis, it tracks and reports the number of Nuclear Sellafield Incident Reports (SIRs). These are nuclear events categorised as significant under our sentencing scheme. The company had no Nuclear SIRs in 2022/23, an improvement on the previous financial year. Radiological safety One measure of the company’s radiological safety performance is the number of Radiological Sellafield Incident Reports (SIRs), radiological events categorised as significant under the company’s sentencing scheme. There were three recorded during 2022/23. This represents a diminished performance compared to the previous financial year and will be an area of focus for the company in 2023/24. Environmental safety One measure of the company’s environmental safety performance is the rate of Environmental Site Incident Report (SIR) events categorised as significant under our sentencing scheme, including events where there is actual or potential for noncompliance with our environmental permits. The company saw a levelling off in the rate of Environmental SIRs in 2022/23 compared to the previous financial year. The company will continue to make improvements in the 2023/24 financial year, including recruitment into its environmental safety teams. For further details on the ways in which the company monitors its impact on the environment, please see our Annual Review of Environmental Performance 2022/23 publication. Conventional safety Overall, the metrics that measure the company’s conventional safety performance have improved this year. While the company notes that efforts in this area over recent years has resulted in fewer conventional safety incidents, there is more work to do. In 2022/23, the company appeared in court and pleaded guilty to a prosecution brought by the Office for Nuclear Regulation under Section 2 (1) of the Health and Safety at Work Act in relation to an incident from the previous financial year (2021/22). In October 2021, an employee was injured falling from a scaffold ladder while carrying out repair work on an internal pipeline in the Magnox reprocessing facility. The company was fined £400,000.00 and ordered to pay £29,210.64 in costs as well as a surcharge of £190. The company deeply regrets this incident and acknowledge that on this occasion it fell short in its legal duty to protect the safety of our employee. For further detail, see the section on our safety performance.

Methodologies used in the calculation of GHG emissions and energy usage data Scope 1 Total energy consumption (KWh) and emissions (tCO2e) for Scope 1 relating to electricity, gas and heat. Including balance of combustible gas for SECR:
The CO2e (primarily CO2, N2O and CH4) emissions attributed to the burning of natural gas are split between heat and electricity generated at Fellside CHPP using CHPQA Methodology for the overall installation, and fuel use apportioned between the Fellside boilers and gas turbines. Further, for the gas turbines, CO2e has been assigned between heat and electricity using the equation in the SECR Guidance, Appendix D.
For off-site properties, where Sellafield Ltd pays directly for gas use – use is metered (fiscal) by supplier and recorded on utility bills. Where Sellafield Ltd does not pay for the gas directly, the quantity has been calculated from meter readings supplied by the building management company or estimated based on service charges or floor area adjusted for building occupancy multiplied by DESNZ Conversion Factors. tCO2e is calculated using the relevant emission factor given in the UK Government GHG Conversion Factors for company Reporting – Fuels (2022).
Total consumption (l and KWh) and emissions (tCO2e) for transport (fuel) Scope 1:
In addition, gas oil is purchased for works vehicles used in operations, invoiced fuel is summated in litres and multiplied by the relevant emission factor given in the UK Government GHG Conversion Factors for company Reporting – Fuels (2022). It is assumed that all fuel purchased in FY22/23 is utilised in the same period.
Sellafield Ltd operates trains internal to the Sellafield site. The litres of fuel used are multiplied by the relevant emission factor given in the UK Government GHG Conversion Factors for company Reporting – Fuels (2022).
