Nuclear incentives

NAMTEC (the National Metals Technology Centre), in association with the Nuclear Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (NAMRC), is hosting a two day conference at the Oulton Hall Hotel and Golf Resort in Leeds from 29-30 June 2010.

The ‘Nuclear: Metals and Manufacturing Conference' features a full itinerary of high profile speakers from the nuclear industry and will focus on the current drive towards Generation III+ nuclear power stations in the UK. The aim is to provide delegates with an insight into the opportunities for the UK's materials and manufacturing supply base, whilst giving companies the chance to network and engage with nuclear vendors and their Tier 1 suppliers.
Keynote speakers are 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, AMEC, Fusion Energy and the NAMRC.

Dr Alan Partridge from NAMTEC, explained: “There is major investment being made into the nuclear sector over the next 10 years and as a result of this, the opportunities are extensive for UK manufacturers to become part of the supply chain. This event is designed to give delegates a better understanding of the UK and global nuclear new build programmes, including the technical research and the opportunities that lie ahead. We have received an excellent response from delegates already from all over the UK, as this really is the nuclear event not to be missed.”

The cost for the two day conference is £595 plus VAT, which includes accommodation and conference dinner on 29th June 2010. Anyone interested is advised to book early to avoid disappointment.
