The UK nuclear sector is entering a period of significant growth and renewal. With new build programmes including Hinkley Point C progressing and a new generation of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) moving closer to reality, alongside the ongoing demands of operating the existing fleet and an expanding decommissioning programme, the requirement for specialist nuclear professionals is substantial and sustained.
