The formal establishment of the NDA in April 2005, with a strategic remit for dealing with the UK's civil public sector nuclear legacy, an annual budget of over £2 billion plus, and a new competitive model, raised considerable expectations within the industry for exciting technical opportunities. The new NDA market has attracted companies from the UK and from overseas to invest and position themselves to take advantage of those potential opportunities resulting in the large-scale change and restructuring
within the sector. Despite some impressive achievements in setting up the organisation and beginning to come to terms with the scale of the task, initial expectations have not been fulfilled in the first two and a half years of the NDA's operations. A combination of funding problems (real or perceived) arising from lower than anticipated NDA operational income and interruptions to announced work programmes due to reprioritisation of resources, has created some uncertainty within the supply chain.
