Nuclear AMRC: Nuclear Manufacturing Summit 2021
The UK faces a monumental challenge to decarbonise by 2050. With up to 40GW of new nuclear capacity – a potential investment totalling hundreds of billions of pounds – there will be huge opportunities for the supply chain. From current gigawatt-scale projects to new designs of small and advanced modular reactor, along with continuing opportunities in the decommissioning and defence sectors, the scale of the market will stretch the nuclear supply chain’s capabilities and capacity to the limit.
- What are the opportunities for UK manufacturers?
- What do suppliers need to do to win work now and over the next 30 years?
- How can we work together as an industry to meet the challenges?
These are the big questions that will be addressed at the Nuclear Manufacturing Summit 2021.
Hosted by the Nuclear AMRC, this event is for supply chain companies looking for opportunities in the nuclear market at home and worldwide, and wanting to play a part in the UK’s commitment to reach net zero emissions.
Following hot on the heels of the highly anticipated UN Climate Change Conference in Glasgow, the event will:
- Look at the latest government and industry targets – including £2 billion of new UK and international orders by 2030 – and the scale of the challenge.
- Provide details on the key UK nuclear programmes and the opportunity for the supply chain.
- Discuss how we can bridge the gap between where the UK supply chain is today, and where it needs to be.
- Provide advice and support for supply chain companies already working in nuclear, and those looking to get into the sector.

Thinking Outside the Dome: Strategic eForum on Nuclear Innovation
Embracing the spirit of nuclear innovation means thinking outside the reactor dome. It requires moving beyond sole consideration of reactor technology and drawing on the lessons from other industries while also exploring transformative changes to adapt nuclear energy technologies for novel applications like heat, hydrogen, and radioisotope production.
This free virtual event will feature a high-level panel in which a group of diverse and international experts will discuss:
- What the nuclear sector can learn from the renewables industry as it begins to deploy a range of new and innovative reactor designs.
- What the nuclear sector can learn from other sectors that have experienced transformative change and accelerated new technology development in response to a crisis.
- The challenges in moving beyond electricity production for nuclear technologies to providing heat, hydrogen, etc.
- Real-world examples of innovative technologies impacting the construction and operation of nuclear plants today.
- Recent non-technology innovations that are facilitating the deployment of nuclear projects around the world.
