News: Building a nuclear future
Two Rotherham based organisations are joining together to host a conference on the UK and global nuclear new build programmes.
Rotherham is set to be at the heart of the civil nuclear industry following last year's announcement of a Nuclear Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (Nucler AMRC) at the Advanced Manufacturing Park, which will help UK civil nuclear manufactures develop world class manufacturing techniques and cost competitiveness.
NAMTEC (the National Metals Technology Centre), in association with the Nuclear AMRC, is hosting a two day conference at the Oulton Hall Hotel and Golf Resort in Leeds on June 29-30 2010.
The Nuclear: Metals and Manufacturing Conference features a full itinerary of high profile speakers from the nuclear industry and will focus on the current drive towards Generation III+ nuclear power stations in the UK. The aim is to provide this region's manufacturers with an insight into the huge opportunities to supply into this sector, whilst giving companies the chance to network and engage with nuclear vendors and their Tier 1 suppliers.
Keynote speakers are from EDF Energy, the National Nuclear Laboratory, AREVA, the University of Manchester, the University of Oxford and the University of Bristol, as well as CORUS, Westinghouse, Sheffield Forgemasters, AMEC, Fusion Energy and the NAMRC.
Dr Alan Partridge from NAMTEC, explains: "There is major investment being made into the nuclear sector over the next ten years and as a result of this, the opportunities are extensive for this region's manufacturers to become part of the supply chain.
"This event is designed to give delegates a better understanding of the UK and global nuclear new build programmes, including the technical research and the opportunities that lie ahead. We have received a tremendous response from delegates already from all over the UK, as this really is the nuclear event not to be missed!"
