| Administrative / biographical background: |
The Nuclear Power Privatisation Team were created to carry out the Government’s decision to privatise the more modern nuclear power stations during 1996 through the establishment of a Scottish based holding company with parts of Nuclear Electric and Scottish Nuclear being privatised as wholly owned subsidiaries and the Magnox power stations and their liabilities held in a stand alone company owned by the Government to be transferred to British Nuclear Fuels plc in due course. After privatisation the unit was disbanded in 1997 with any residual activities being carried out by the Nuclear Industries Directorate (NID). |
