Thomas Hart, Process Engineer for Sellafield Ltd

I’m Tom and I’m a process engineer for Sellafield Ltd. I graduated in 2020 with a masters degree in chemical engineering from the University of Nottingham. I did a placement year at Sellafield as part of my degree and that helped me get a place on the graduate scheme. As a process engineer, my work involves designing procedures and equipment to help Sellafield clean up the site safely and in line with the law. Sellafield is a huge nuclear site in Cumbria that used to produce power and reprocess nuclear fuel from all over the world. Now, the work focusses on cleaning up the site and returning it to a safe condition for future generations. Although this sounds simple, it’s scheduled to take over 100 years and cost over £120 billion. On a day-to-day basis, I produce calculations and documents that support the new process and equipment that are used to fulfil this mission. I use skills that I learned at university and work closely with engineers in different disciplines to produce designs for projects that have never been attempted before.
