About us
The Nuclear Industry Association (NIA) is the trade association for the civil nuclear industry in the UK. It represents more than 250 companies across the UK’s nuclear supply chain. The diversity of NIA membership enables effective and constructive industry-wide interaction. NIA member companies have significant expertise in nuclear decommissioning and clean-up, with 18 nuclear sites in the UK currently being managed through the process. We believe nuclear energy is essential to meet the UK’s clean energy needs. Together with renewables and energy efficiency, nuclear can reduce carbon emissions. As part of a diversified energy mix, nuclear-generated energy provides safe and reliable electricity for UK homes, hospitals, schools and industries.

Great to see the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Nuclear Energy discuss nuclear's role in powering the AI revolution ⚡ Nuclear offers the 24/7/365 clean electricity that power hungry data centres and other AI infrastructure need and the UK can can be a leading global player in this field. We look forward to working with MPs, policy-makers and businesses to ensure that Britain is one of the best place to invest in nuclear. #nuclear #AI #datacentres
⚡ Artificial Intelligence ⚡ The APPG on Nuclear Energy was pleased to welcome industry representatives to our final session before the summer recess, focused on the role of nuclear energy in supporting AI infrastructure. APPG members explored how nuclear could power the data centres and systems that underpin AI, discussing its feasibility, potential reactor locations, and the increasing interest and investment from major technology companies. There was strong interest in the various nuclear technologies that could support this growth, and how the UK can learn from countries like the United States, which are already making significant strides in this area. Thank you to all who attended and contributed to an insightful discussion. EDF Oxford Economics X-energy Rolls-Royce SMR Urenco Global
