March 2024
Rating: The Infrastructure Project Authority's Delivery Confidence Assessment rating at 23/24-Q4 is Amber. This is primarily due to the following factors. Scale, complexity and challenge of the Programme. In 2023 the FMC programme was established that draws together a number of infrastructure facilities into a single programme of activity that when completed will deliver the manufacture and storage of nuclear materials. The projects have interconnected schedules, common activities and overlapping requirements for resources. The change in approach to that of an integrated programme is the most effective means of maximising efficiencies.
Schedule: Exempt under Sections 24 and 26 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000
Cost: FMC is bringing together a range of projects at differing levels of maturity, with elements of concept development still ongoing. As such the whole life cost modelling and subsequent analysis remains under development.
