Springfields Fuels Limited (SFL), part of the Westinghouse Electric Company, is a historic nuclear‑licensed site processing nuclear material since the mid‑1940s, located near Preston in Lancashire, England. The site’s nuclear activity has primarily involved manufacturing nuclear fuel and intermediate products, including uranium hexafluoride. The SFL site in Preston is earmarked to build the next generation of high‑tech nuclear fuel facilities as part of the UK’s energy strategy to help fuel nuclear power plants at home and abroad.

These new processes will transform the site from its current operations to manufacturing fuel for today’s operating nuclear power plants. Morgan Sindall is engaged in the Early Contractor Involvement stage of the project to help define the project and support Westinghouse in gaining the necessary approvals for the construction stage to commence.
