The Nuclear Institute (NI) are pleased to announce the opening of nominations from employers and training providers for our awards that recognise the achievements of nuclear professionals who are the future leaders of the UK nuclear industry.
As part of our drive to promote Nuclear Professionalism centred around the Nuclear Delta, the Nuclear Institute has refreshed some of its annual awards and now welcomes submissions from across industry for the following:
Jack Edwards Prize for Best Technician – an annual prize awarded by the NI for the Best Technician working today in the nuclear Industry. These nominations should be made by the employing company.
NI Young Apprentice/Technician Award – an annual prize awarded to the rising stars of the UK nuclear industry. Nominees will either have recently completed their apprenticeship or recently qualified as a new technician. The prize is aimed at personnel who display excellence and are seen as a future leader of the industry. These nominations should be made by the training provider or employer responsible for the apprentice/technician.
NI Young Professionals Award – an annual prize awarded to the rising stars of the UK nuclear industry. It is aimed at personnel who are within the first 10 years of their nuclear career, who have already achieved success and who are seen as the future leaders of the industry. These nominations should be made by the employing company.
In all cases, the proposed award winner will receive £250 in prize money, a signed NI commemorative certificate and free attendance of an NI Event of the winners choosing. The awards will be presented at the employer/training provider’s local prize giving ceremony or at the NI event.
Mark Lyons, Trustee and Chair of the Education & Training Committee at the Nuclear Institute, said:
“In support of our promotion of Nuclear Professionalism (based upon the concept of the NI’s Nuclear Delta), the Nuclear Institute as the body for nuclear professionals across all disciplines and roles within the UK nuclear sector is aiming with these awards to help identify and enthuse the next generation of scientists and engineers from within the nuclear industry."
