News: Nuclear accreditation seminar in Rotherham
The Special Metals Forum (SMF), the membership arm of the National Metals Technology Centre (NAMTEC) is hosting a Nuclear Accreditation Seminar at Swinden House in Rotherham on October 13.
Rotherham is set to become a focal point for the bulk of the UK civil nuclear manufacturing industry supply chain. The Nuclear Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (Nuclear AMRC), being built on the Advanced Manufacturing Park, will ensure that manufacturers in the UK have the capability and capacity required to compete for nuclear new build in the UK and globally, from skills training to research and development.
As a founder member of the Nuclear AMRC, NAMTEC is hosting an event designed to provide an insight for members of the Special Metals Forum and other interested parties on the accreditation process for supplying products and services into the nuclear industry.
With the UK set to build at least ten new nuclear reactors by 2025, suppliers are being sought across the board who can meet the necessary requirements.
Dr Alan Partridge, chief executive of NAMTEC, said: "It is widely known that the government is backing a new generation of nuclear power stations around the UK and there is therefore huge potential for companies to supply into this sector.
"We have responded to demand from suppliers following our Nuclear conference in June to host an event that is directly relevant to manufacturing businesses which are looking to develop business opportunities in this area.
"Delegates that attend will be able to find out more about the accreditation they need and how their companies can meet the criteria to become accredited suppliers."
Keynote speakers at the event will be Sergey Putintsev and Andreas Krys from TÜV Rheinland UK, a company that provides specialist advice to suppliers looking to become accredited for the next generation of nuclear and other power plants. The company also provides practical support and consultancy on setting up a quality management system.
