Magnox South, a company owned by Utah-based EnergySolutions, awarded the contract to install AttentionIT’s eMWaste software at all its facilities and to proceed with a rollout schedule that AttentionIT will service from its new international headquarters in Warrington.

AttentionIT’s eMWaste is a waste tracking software that provides electronic storage of information related to ‘cradle to grave’ treatment of radioactive and mixed waste. This includes characterisation, storage, movement, processing, treatment, shipping and disposal of waste products.

The UK has authorised more than £73bn for the clean up of 20 civil nuclear sites over several decades. AttentionIT believes that its software will play a key role in the UK’s decommissioning activities and plans to use its base in the north west to eventually service sites nationwide.
