Nuclear Amrc

The Nuclear Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre helps UK manufacturers win work in the nuclear power sector. We work with UK manufacturers to improve their capabilities and performance for nuclear and other high-value low-carbon sectors. Our services are open to companies of all sizes to collaboratively tackle the manufacturing challenges of the energy transition, in markets where quality and long-term performance are critical. You can use our engineering expertise and resources to develop and test new processes on production-scale machines, at minimum risk and without losing capacity in your own factories. Our researchers focus on developing innovative techniques and optimised processes for large-scale high-precision manufacturing. We are improving productivity and capability for the current market, and developing innovative processes for future applications such as small modular reactors and fusion power. As well as technical research and support, we provide a range of business development services to help manufacturers enter the nuclear supply chain and compete worldwide. We work closely with nuclear industry leaders including new build groups, reactor developers and decommissioning site licence companies. We advise government on supply chain challenges for nuclear and other low-carbon growth sectors. We are part of the High Value Manufacturing Catapult, a national alliance of seven leading manufacturing research centres backed by Innovate UK. We are owned by the University of Sheffield as part of its world-leading advanced manufacturing innovation cluster. To meet evolving industry needs, we continue to expand the capabilities of our research factory in South Yorkshire and a growing network of regional facilities. The new Nuclear AMRC Midlands in Derby explores new technology areas and tackles cross-sector challenges, and our Birchwood Park facility develops advanced techniques for modular manufacturing.
