Interesting short piece from the NIA outlining the key contribution that Nuclear capability will play in providing UK energy independence while supporting us on the path to a greener future. SMR clearly playing a key role in the nuclear portfolio here, providing a faster route to available, dependable power for our future commercial and domestic demands. MHP considers that best in class industry solutions supporting core industrial processes such as Model Based Systems Engineering and Advanced Configuration for the Design and Build phases with Building Information Management capability (BIM) for in-service plants would form the core of a successful scalable, repeatable SMR manufacturing approach. #WeManufactureWeConsult #DigitalTransformation #ManufacturingExcellence #Innovation #Automation
'Hinkley and Sizewell are absolutely essential. They are going to be cornerstones of our energy security and our net zero journey, not just in the near future, but for the rest of the century, a well as creating the green jobs that we need.' 🎙 Nuclear Industry Association's Director of Policy and External Affairs, Lincoln Hill spoke to Lord Ed Vaizey on Times Radio about the vital role nuclear, both large-scale and SMRs, will play alongside renewables in driving down gas and energy bills and driving up clean energy and green jobs. 🎧 Listen back ⏩ https://lnkd.in/eEJRTt9R (from 35 mins) #nuclear #netzeroneedsnuclear

7moInteresting points Heath. The Nuclear sector is decades old, and very mature, however if it is to delivery new capabilities and help achieve the UK net zero ambitions, it will need to make the best use of new technologies across the full product lifecycle - from a Model based design and Engineering process, through Manufacturing and Assembly to a comprehensive Operational Support Model. This will be a major challenge for the whole industry and the eco system of partners that will need to provide the services to deliver end to end solutions. I do see companies like MHP being able to have a positive contribution to this story!
