The Box Encapsulation Plant (BEP) project is one of the most important construction projects at the Sellafield Site.

The plant is primarily designed to handle waste from the Magnox Swarf Storage Silo, one of four legacy waste plants prioritized for clean-up by Sellafield Ltd's owner, the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA). Additionally, the plant will process certain wastes from the other three legacy waste stores: the First Generation Magnox Storage Pond, the Pile Fuel Storage Pond, and the Pile Fuel Cladding Silo.
The BEP Joint Venture project will design and deliver a plant and the associated works according to the contract requirements, enabling the conditioning of wastes from the various donor plants. This will be carried out in line with the employer's needs and to the satisfaction of stakeholders in the Box Encapsulation Project (BEP).
