WORKERS at a nuclear advisory body in Oxfordshire face an uncertain future after the Government announced plans to abolish it.
Harwell-based Nirex, which has helped the civil nuclear industry dispose of radioactive waste since the 1980s, was yesterday told it was no longer needed.
The functions of the state-owned company will be transferred to the Cumbria-based Nuclear Decommissioning Authority.
The Government said it did not expect any of Harwell's 67 staff to be made compulsory redundant.
