(NPL: Teddington, England) -- The National Physical Laboratory has signed a long-term framework agreement with Sellafield, a British nuclear decommissioning site license company controlled by the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, a U.K. government body set up specifically to deal with the nuclear legacy under the Energy Act 2004. The agreement states a commitment to collaborate further on new measurement research projects.
