We established a strategy that achieves progress while ensuring an acceptable cost for taxpayers.
Our understanding of what is needed continues to grow and we continue to allocate our money to best effect. In the early years, our focus was on understanding the scope of the mission and how best to secure progress. Since then, the NDA has developed into a unique and knowledgeable organisation. We harness the right skills and expertise to make an important contribution to the decommissioning landscape.
