Nuclear Industry Association

🏗️ Yesterday, we had a fantastic visit with members of the Energy Security and Net Zero Committee, who joined us at Sizewell C for a site tour. We were joined by Bill Esterson, Chair of the Committee, alongside committee members Claire Young, Luke Murphy and Wera Hobhouse MP. The Committee got their first chance to see the huge progress we are making at our construction site. They also learned about the great jobs and business opportunities we are already creating in East Suffolk and beyond. Today the project is working with around 300 UK suppliers and has signed contracts worth approximately £2.5bn. This is just the start! 70% of the construction value will be spent in the UK. Ultimately, we will support 70,000 jobs and work with well over 3,000 companies across Britain.  Thank you to the Committee for taking the time to visit us on-site and for your interest in how Sizewell C is helping to build a secure, zero-carbon, and sustainable energy future for Britain! 🌍⚡  #EnergySecurity #NetZero #SizewellC #SustainableEnergy

And that’s a wrap on #NuclearWeek in Parliament 2025… 🥳😮💨 What an incredible, albeit exhausting, 3 days in Westminster. Over 1,000 industry attendees and over 120 Parliamentarians attended the 20 events, where our Nuclear Week Sponsors truly highlighted the breadth and reach of the civil nuclear sector. Our biggest #NuclearWeek yet! The Nuclear Industry Association hosted four core events throughout the week, starting on Monday with the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Nuclear Energy Welcome Reception, kindly sponsored by APPG Co-Chair Josh MacAlister MP. We heard invaluable insights from the government’s Nuclear Minister Lord Hunt, Laurent Odeh from Urenco Global, and Chris Cholerton from Rolls-Royce. On Tuesday we held the Skills & Apprenticeship Fair, kindly sponsored by Liz Saville Roberts MP - who treated us to a speech in Welsh! Over 125 apprentices showcased the fantastic opportunities across the sector, with speeches from the Minister for Skills and Government Spokesperson for Equalities Jacqui Smith, NSAN 2024 Apprentice of the Year Cailey Miller, Max Baldwin and Amy Vida Simpson from KBR, Inc. and Frazer-Nash Consultancy, and Jacq Longrigg from the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority. Tuesday evening was the (rather eventful) Executive Dinner, in the unexpected venue of the Conrad London St. James. Thank you to Charlotte Nichols MP, Rob Guyler from EDF (UK), and Simon Harrison from Mott MacDonald for your excellent speeches, and to all attendees for your flexibility with the sudden change of plans! On Wednesday we concluded with the Great British Nuclear Reception, hosted by our new NIA Chair, Lord Iain McNicol. Thank you to Simon Bowen FREng at Great British Nuclear, Shadow Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero Andrew Bowie MP, Chair of the Energy Security and Net Zero Select Committee Bill Esterson MP, and Ivan Baldwin from Bechtel Corporation for your enthusiastic contributions. To our #NuclearWeek sponsors, thank you all for your support and incredible fringe events, you are the backbone of the civil nuclear sector. To the NIA team, I couldn’t have pulled this off without you! A special shout out to Joseph Ridding, who has helped pull this whole week off in his first month in the role 💪🏼 A truly incredible way to kick off what is undoubtedly going to be an absolutely crucial year for the nuclear industry. ⚛ Now for a well earned rest!

An inspirational afternoon at the #NuclearWeek in Parliament Skills & Apprenticeship Fair 🙌 We welcomed over 100 apprentices and graduates from across the civil nuclear sector and over 30 Parliamentarians to showcase the incredible work the industry’s next generation is doing. A special thank you goes to Cailey Miller from NUVIA, the National Skills Academy for Nuclear (NSAN) Apprentice of the Year 2024 and Amy Vida Simpson from Frazer-Nash Consultancy for sharing with the audience their journeys into the sector and how one opportunity has led to careers in the industry.   Baroness Smith, the Minister for Skills at the Department for Education and All-Party Parliamentary Group on Nuclear Energy Secretary Liz Saville Roberts MP highlighted the importance of the nuclear sector in creating opportunities, jobs and growth right across the country.   Nuclear = Clean power, energy security, OPPORTUNITY   #nuclear #skills #jobs #apprentices

"We're committed to developing skills for the future and opportunities to unlock further investment and growth in this exciting sector, so that generations to come can benefit from reliable, clean homegrown energy." The Nuclear Minister Lord Philip Hunt on the importance of British nuclear at #NuclearWeek in Parliament, which is showcasing the best of the civil nuclear industry. With discussions on how industry and Government are fuelling the future of nuclear, its critical role in achieving the UK’s clean energy goals, and the development of cutting-edge technologies, this week is a crucial moment for the sector. It’s also a pivotal time for the SMR competition and major projects like Sizewell C which will pave the way for other projects to boost our energy security, drive down emissions and create jobs and growth.   #nuclear #energysecurity

A pleasure to welcome the Government, MPs and Peers to the Nuclear Energy APPG Welcome Reception at #NuclearWeek in Parliament and hear from the Nuclear Minister, Lord Philip Hunt , Nuclear APPG Co-Chair Josh MacAlister MP , and NIA CEO Tom Greatrex in what is a pivotal year for British nuclear👏⚛️ Britain is on the brink of a nuclear renaissance with big decisions expected this year which will be vital for clean power, energy security, jobs and growth, including a final decision on the UK SMR competition and Sizewell C, which will pave the way for more projects and more opportunities for workers and the supply chain. The Government recognises the importance of ramping up nuclear capacity and we look forward to having many discussions this week to ensure the sector has a strong voice and a bright future. #nuclear #energysecurity #jobs #growth

"This next period up to the Spending Review is one of the most critical in our 70-year history as we await final decisions on Sizewell C and the Small Modular Reactor (SMR) competition which should pave the way for more projects, more jobs and greater certainty for the supply chain."   During this week's #NuclearWeek in Parliament the industry is making the case to Government, MPs and Peers that now is the time to make key decisions on the future of British nuclear and to underline the urgent need for more clean power, energy security, economic growth, and jobs.   ✍ 'Britain is on the brink of a nuclear renaissance' NIA CEO Tom Greatrex in the The House Magazine ⏩ https://lnkd.in/er7knNPr   #nuclear #energysecurity
