Effective from the 1st April 2026, the transition marks the beginning of Hunterston B’s next phase as it enters decommissioning under Nuclear Restoration Services (NRS).

The change ensures continuity of service deliveryy and builds on KAEFER’s established relationship with NRS, supporting the safe and efficient progression of works across the site.

As part of the transition, new colleagues have joined KAEFER, bringing valuable experience and site knowledge to support ongoing operations.

KAEFER now delivers Access and Insulation services for NRS across six sites: Wylfa, Trawsfynydd, Sizewell A, Chapelcross, Hunterston A and Hunterston B.

This is an important step forward in our relationship with Nuclear Restoration Services and reflects the trust placed in KAEFER to support the next phase at Hunterston B. We’re especially pleased to welcome 20 new colleagues into the business. Their knowledge of the site is invaluable, and they play a key role in ensuring a smooth and safe transition.

Nick Walters, Nuclear & Defence Director of KAEFER UK & Ireland

This latest development reinforces KAEFER’s position as a trusted partner in the UK nuclear sector, supporting safe, efficient and reliable delivery across decommissioning sites.
