Nuclear Power Committee

The Nuclear Power Committee is served by influential individuals speaking for the salient parts of a diverse sector.

The Committee meets three times a year and acts as a technical advisory panel to the Power Industries Board, representing all sectors of power generation.

Committee members represent the following areas:

• Nuclear regulation
• New build
• Power generation
• Research (fission & fusion)
• Defence
• Fuel cycle
• Decommissioning
• Contractors and construction
• Academia.

Committee members

What we do

• Ensure that good engineering practice and exciting innovation in the nuclear sector is propagated to all interested members of the Institution
• Ensure that the Institution listens and responds to topics members want to hear about
• Communicate with a wider audience on nuclear engineering matters of public and national interest
• Arrange events, talks, and web content
• Engage with the Institution''s regional centres. 
• Publish reports and contribute to Institution policy statements and responses to questions from the government, media or the general public.

Objectives

• Promote the safe use and application of engineering in all aspects of nuclear energy together with its standards 
• Influence decision makers on the merits of nuclear energy and to advise our Institution on nuclear energy matters 
• Stimulate debate over the engineering issues which arise in nuclear power generation and provide training/ professional development opportunities, especially for younger engineers 
• Promote a willingness to share with, inter alia, the engineering institutions, BNES and BNIF in the management and organisation of nuclear related activities, to avoid duplication and to maximise interest and value.
