British Nuclear Fuels plc (BNFL) completed construction of its Thermal Oxide Reprocessing Plant (Thorp) at the Sellafield site, Cumbria, UK in 1992; approximately 18 years after the start of conceptual design and development work. During the latter period of construction to the present time various commissioning activities have been carried out. These activities have presented the plant with an increasing challenge, ranging from a variety of non-active tests to commissioning with active fuel. All aspects of the plant have been tested together with associated plants which treat wastes and effluents arising from Thorp.
