Through collaboration and a protracted manufacturing phase between the successful supplier, NRS Dounreay and Sellafield Limited, the furniture sets have now been successfully manufactured.\nThere is now a requirement for 4-off additional sets of skips, furniture and the associated cans and spacers.\nThe supplier from the original contract now has the technical knowledge to manufacture the additional Flask Furniture sets to the extremely tight design tolerances.",
