Paul Duckett, at AWE commented:“James Blake and Co. made every effort to accommodate AWE’s stringentfuel storage requirements and were pro-active in producing a cost-effectiveand legislatively compliant solution.”AWE plays a crucial role in national defence by providing and maintainingwarheads for Trident, the UK’s nuclear deterrent.
