National Nuclear Manufacturing Conference - Empowering the golden age of nuclear
Join us for the 2nd annual National Nuclear Manufacturing Conference on July 9th at the MTC in Coventry.
The conference will chart the UK’s nuclear manufacturing trajectory – from advanced reactor deployment and modularisation to fusion commercialisation and large‑scale decommissioning.
The UK’s nuclear manufacturing sector is entering a pivotal moment where momentum is no longer hypothetical – it’s real. Private investment, industrial partnerships and supply chain readiness are converging to deliver clean, secure energy and high‑value jobs. This shift signals the start of a golden age for nuclear, where readiness, collaboration and industrial strength will determine who seizes the opportunity ahead.
With speakers from Rolls-Royce SMR, Sellafield, UK Fusion Energy Ltd and Great British Nuclear the conference is bringing together OEMs, policy makers, innovators and SMEs.
Agenda highlights will include:
- A keynote from Rolls‑Royce SMR
- A session exploring how the Hartlepool development alone could generate as many as 2,500 high‑quality jobs and how the full programme is expected to create at least £40 billion in economic value.
- A look at latest developments across the STEPFusion programme.
- A chance to hear how the UK can build sovereign capability in next‑generation nuclear technologies.
- An interactive strategy forum.
