Nuclear power is a long-established part of the UK’s energy mix and it will continue to play a major role in reliably generating affordable low-carbon energy.

Concrete is a practical material for a permanent shield against the dangers of radiation. It’s also inexpensive, easy to use, structurally self-supporting, virtually indestructible, and without maintenance costs.

We have been involved in the industry since the 1980s with Regen, a specially-developed ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) product, used to safeguard radioactive waste during the decommissioning of old power plants. Its particle size distribution enables excellent flow properties with good water retention.

We are also supplier of choice to the client and contractors for the supply of concrete, cement and aggregates to the proposed Hinkley Point C plant in Somerset, the first of a new generation of nuclear sites.

The slow strength gain and low exothermic properties of ggbs have led to its use in the decommissioning of Britain’s older nuclear power plants.
