Decommissioning plays a vital role in supporting the local economy, offering significant benefits in skills retention and career development for local communities. At Dungeness A the process is not just about dismantling structures – it’s about developing expertise and creating opportunities for future generations.

A 2024 residents survey revealed that:

70% of survey respondents valued Dungeness A site as a good employer.

50% of Dungeness residents think they know at least ‘a fair amount’ about the site.

47% agreed that hospitality has the largest positive impact on the local economy.

Do you agree?

Please come along and find out more about the work delivered by Nuclear Restoration Services, while sharing your thoughts at an upcoming interactive digital exhibition, designed to spark lively conversations and gather community input.

Each event will be an opportunity for the community to witness the exciting changes underway at Dungeness A site and actively shape its future. Attendees will be invited to explore and contribute to a range of alternative possibilities, which could include:

• Renewable energy projects
• Rewilding projects
• Leisure facilities
• Or something completely different

Ian Cuthbert, Dungeness A Site Director, said: “Hosting a community exhibition focused on decommissioning is one essential way for us to reach different audiences in our community. We want to share more information about the work that we’re delivering and seek views that could influence future decisions.  

“In national workshops, younger participants highlighted the importance of long-term community benefits, such as access to skilled employment, and enhanced local amenities.  

“By directly engaging all of our community, including young people from Dungeness in the conversation, the exhibition provides an opportunity to demystify the decommissioning process, emphasise our focus on safety and sustainability, and connect its outcomes to their aspirations for the region’s future.”
