Nuclear power is an essential part of the UK’s clean energy mix. Since the world’s first nuclear power station opened in Cumbria in 1956, nuclear has been a stable, low-carbon energy source for the country, producing enough electricity to power every home in the UK for 18 and a half years. Not only is it vital that the current generation of nuclear power is replaced with new generation, future increased energy demand needs to be met with low-carbon sources, namely nuclear and renewables.
With Net Zero targets and energy security high on Government agendas, there has never been a better time to join the nuclear industry.
By joining the NI you will benefit from the industry-wide recognition this brings, with membership providing assurance to employers and clients that you are suitably qualified, independently verified nuclear professional.
