HE UK ATOMIC ENERGY AUTHORITY (UKAEA) IS CONSTRUCTING A NEW RESEARCH AND TESTING FACILITY ON THE ADVANCED MANUFACTURING PARK IN ROTHERHAM TO DEVELOP AND TEST TECHNOLOGIES FOR FUSION MATERIALS AND COMPONENTS

The new centre aims to work closely with research and industrial partners, both locally and beyond, to firmly position the UK as a leader in the commercialisation of nuclear fusion as a major source of low-carbon energy for electricity and services.

The facility will require regular supplies of specialist services and resources, including metals and materials, creating further opportunities for UK companies.

To introduce the new facility to the supply chain, the Nuclear Industry Association (NIA) is hosting a webinar with UKAEA, Nuclear AMRC, EGB Engineering, and engineering group IDOM from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM on Friday, 4 September 2020.
