This will build upon the research-based waste assessment studies already performed by UKAEA as part of EUROfusion demonstration fusion power plant ('DEMO') studies but with a more engineering and technological focus. The project is aimed at guiding future STEP R&D, for example to indicate if the current "low-activation" constraints can be relaxed or if further mitigation steps are required in the design of STEP. The decommissioning plans for STEP should become part of the design phase and this contract will aim to deliver a prototype plan for a fusion device. ## CPV classification Engineering services Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/2b77fac2-51af-44ae-9b3c-1840a6bfd725) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
