The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) and EDF have announced the start of the process for the sale of land next to three nuclear sites - Wylfa, Bradwell and Oldbury. The auction is planned for the first quarter of 2009 but is conditional on EDF's offer for British Energy being accepted (see NEI November 2008, p5).The sale includes EDF and NDA-owned land, totalling some 152 hectares, adjacent to the operating Magnox reactors at Wylfa in Anglesey. This land will be sold in two lots, lot 1 comprising land owned by both EDF and the NDA, and lot 2 comprising EDF-owned land only. The purchaser of lot 1 will have an option to acquire the 1670MWe grid connection rights for Wylfa currently held by EDF.
