Tessella, the information technology and consulting services company selected by R&D, science and engineering leaders for business-critical assignments, is continuing to support the Radioactive Waste Management Directorate (RWMD) of the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA).
A contract was awarded to Tessella in August 2008, covering the design and specification of a major data management system to support the Geosphere characterization programme.
