Lord Mandelson has today announced a package of measures to support the UK’s civil nuclear industry.
It designates the North West and Yorkshire as a Nuclear Low carbon Economic Area (LCEA), led by the NWDA in collaboration with Yorkshire Forward.
As part of the Nuclear LCEA the North West will support the Manufacturing Advisory Service’s (MAS) nuclear services as part of the Nuclear LCEA, offering manufacturing companies advice and support to access the nuclear energy market. For more information on MAS nuclear services, see the Manufacturing Advisory Service website.
Other measures include a new Nuclear Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre and an additional £8m to upgrade University of Manchester’s nuclear laboratories. For more information on how the Nuclear Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (NAMRC) is building and enhancing the UK civil nuclear industry, see the NAMRC website.
