News: Namtec event demonstrates nuclear opportunities for the future
Over 90 delegates attended the "Building a Nuclear Future" event, which was organised by NAMTEC (the National Metals Technology Centre) based in Rotherham, in association with the Nuclear Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (NAMRC) and held at the Oulton Hall Hotel and Golf Resort, near Leeds, recently.
The Nuclear: Metals and Manufacturing Conference featured 22 presentations over two days, which included some of the major specialist manufacturers of plant, equipment and components for this sector.
The conference outlined how the UK has committed to an extensive new nuclear build programme and there is a huge opportunity for companies in the materials, manufacturing and construction sector to become suppliers into this lucrative market.
Dr Alan Partridge from NAMTEC, said: "We have had a great response to the Nuclear: Metals and Manufacturing Conference. It provided a great opportunity for potential suppliers into this sector to make contacts with companies that are already involved with the nuclear build programme. It also gave delegates an in-depth insight into the global nuclear build schedule, including the technical research and the opportunities that lie ahead.
"The feedback has been very positive from delegates, many of whom have identified opportunities for their own businesses and now have a much better understanding of how they may be able to get involved in supplying into the nuclear new build programme."
Keynote presentations were 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, Fusion Energy and the Nuclear AMRC.
