Decommissioning Management and Leadership for Safety Education

Project Duration

January 2023 – December 2026

What is DMaLSE?

The DMaLSE Project (Decommissioning Management and Leadership for Safety Education) is an educational initiative designed to develop management competencies and safety leadership in Nuclear Decommissioning Projects (NDPs).

This research-driven programme equips early- and mid-career managers with the necessary skills to ensure safety, efficiency, and regulatory compliance in decommissioning projects.

Why DMaLSE?
