The program will be run jointly by the universities of Manchester and Sheffield and will not only drive progress in manufacturing and nuclear technology but will also be used to train the next generation of nuclear manufacturing scientists and engineers.
This funding comes after a recent joint announcement by the UK and France to increase cooperation on nuclear energy and, in my opinion, is a reminder of how important the UK considers nuclear power to its long-term energy strategy.
