New Company Name

With an inherited 30-year track record of success in the design and provision of nuclear materials assay instrumentation, BNFL Instruments, as it was originally known, grew rapidly, introducing many innovative technologies that supported nuclear operators in the key areas of decommissioning, waste management, fuel monitoring, accountancy and safeguards.
Today the company has grown into a truly international business employing nearly 300 staff. Offices, plants, laboratories and workshop facilities are located in Whitehaven, Sellafield, Risley, Berkeley and Dungeness in the UK and in Dounreay, Scotland. BIL Solutions Inc. a sister company serves the US market, from its base in Santa Fe New Mexico and global representation is provided by a network of sales offices throughout Europe, Australia and the Far East.
The 10th birthday of the newly named company heralds a significant expansion of its resources and capabilities, providing customers with solutions that range from simple off-the-shelf instruments to fully integrated and customised packages of instrumentation and specialist services, backed by total through-life support.
