THE boss of a nuclear decommissioning site will be stepping down from his role later this month, sparking a search for his replacement.

Tony Fountain will exchange his role as chair at Sellafield after completing only half of his three year tenure in the plant’s hot seat, in favour of the international company Essar Oil.

Mr Fountain first took up the role in April last year when Sellafield Ltd became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA), taking the management of the site away from international consortium Nuclear Management Partners.

Nigel Smith, a senior independent Non-Executive Director with Sellafield Ltd, will cover the role in the interim until a replacement is found by the NDA…..http://www.nwemail.co.uk/news/millom/The-search-begins-for-Sellafields-new-chair-bd0712fa-774a-4beb-8678-43354a273f6a-ds
