NDA Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, UK. NDA is a nondepartmental public
body established under the Energy Act 2004. Its purpose is to ensure that
nuclear sites designated to it by the Secretary of State are decommissioned
and cleaned up safely, securely, cost effectively, in ways that protect the envi-
ronment and are made ready for their next planned use. The NDA is responsible
for 18 designated civil public sector sites. Legally the NDA can hold nuclear
site licenses. However, it has opted to fulfil its duties by contracting out the
operation of the sites to site license companies (see SLC), which hold the
nuclear site licenses, and appointing parent body organizations (PBO) to pro-
vide management and direction to each SLC
