Babcock Wins Contract to Support Nuclear Submarine Defueling Operations

Babcock has been awarded a three-year contract to prepare for the first nuclear defueling of a decommissioned Trafalgar Class submarine in over 20 years. The operations will take place at its Devonport facility in Plymouth, marking a significant milestone in the UK’s Submarine Dismantling Project. 
 
The £114 million contract from the Ministry of Defence will see Babcock working collaboratively with the Defence Nuclear Enterprise (DNE) and leading industry partners to prepare for the defuel of four decommissioned submarines, with defuel activities recommencing from 2026. 
 
The work will take place in parallel with Babcock’s large-scale infrastructure development programme in Devonport, which will provide facilities supporting the operational submarine programme.
