Building on the success of the event last year, Marketforce and the ASI will again deliver a succinct and up-to-date overview of the progress towards nuclear new build in the UK. Last year, the conference attracted more than 190 attendees, including senior representatives from the Government, the regulator, utilities and key suppliers.
This year witnesses some crucial steps towards new build: several sites have been acquired, the supply chain is beginning to mobilise and the National Policy Statement is due in the autumn. However, it is imperative that all the pieces of the puzzle come together to ensure the safe and timely delivery of nuclear new build.
This conference will offer attendees the opportunity to listen to some of the industry's most senior figures, to hear the most up-to-date information on progress and to network with colleagues from across the nuclear supply chain.
