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. Visit our webinar hub to see a library of past talks
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.
