In June 2006 a statement from UKAEA said that Shah would not be extending his contract when his current 3-year term expires in November.
Shah said: "I have thoroughly enjoyed my term at UKAEA and, with the support of staff, we have achieved some notable successes. We have developed radical new plans that bring forward the decommissioning of our sites by up to 35 years and reduce the cost to the tax-payer by over £1 billion; won Ministerial approval for our business plan to create a vibrant, competitive new British company; entered into an alliance with world-class businesses, AMEC and CH2MHILL; played a key role in the international fusion effort; and taken forward the vision for the Harwell Science and Innovation Campus to create the premier such campus in the UK."
