Nuclear Industry Association welcomes the Government's Industrial Strategy to create investment, growth and good jobs in nuclear⚡ Our CEO Tom Greatrex responds to the Government's new ten-year plan to increase investment in the clean energy sector, identified as one of eight high-growth sectors of the future, with #nuclear a vital sector as the "bedrock of our energy security" according to the Government. https://lnkd.in/eZz5KXJY

We were delighted to host a site visit from the Nuclear Industry Association (NIA), its business group chairs and members. The aim of the visit was to showcase and demonstrate the range of activities on our site. The visit included NIA’s Chair Lord McNicol who was shown around the older parts of the site where key decommissioning activity is taking place, and visited one of Sellafield’s major construction projects – the Sellafield Product and Residue Store Retreatment Plant. Lord McNicol said: “I’ve been looking forward to visiting Sellafield, the UK’s most iconic nuclear site, since I took on the role with the NIA and I wasn’t disappointed. The range of activities is fascinating – cleaning up the legacy of our nuclear heritage with first of a kind work. I witnessed first-hand, the national and local economic impacts the site is delivering through its use of the supply chain and upskilling of the local workforce. “Decommissioning and clean-up is a major part of the nuclear industry and will continue to play a crucial role in demonstrating our ability to manage the complete cycle – from generation to waste management and storage.” #sellafield #nuclear #nuclearindustry #decomissioning #majorprojects Nuclear Industry Association Lord Iain McNicol

✅ Government has given the green light to Sizewell C as it announces a multi-billion pound investment to build the power station ✅ Today’s announcement marks a landmark moment for nuclear power in the UK – opening the door to a new golden age for nuclear power. 🇬🇧 This announcement is a huge win for energy security, a major step towards a clean energy future, and a real boost for jobs and opportunities across the country. 💬 Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rachel Reeves, said: “Today we are once again investing in Britain's renewal, with the biggest nuclear building programme in a generation.” 💬 As Ed Miliband, Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, said: “We need new nuclear to deliver a golden age of clean energy abundance, because that is the only way to protect family finances, take back control of our energy, and tackle the climate crisis." With clean energy, UK-wide jobs, and long-term impact, Sizewell C is at the heart of Britain’s energy future. Today’s government backing sharpens our focus as we push ahead with delivery. #SizewellC #PoweringBritainsFuture #CleanEnergy #Nuclear #EnergySecurity #SizewellCertainty
