Description
The Innovation Universities and Skills Committee of the UK House of Commons are conducting a major enquiry into Engineering and engineering skills. This is one of two specific case studies feeding into that enquiry.
Abstract
- The UK's engineering capacity to build a new generation of nuclear power stations and carry out planned decommissioning of existing nuclear power stations;
- The value in training a new generation of nuclear engineers versus bringing expertise in from elsewhere;
- the role that engineers will play in shaping the UK’s nuclear future and whether nuclear power proves to be economical viable; and
- the overlap between nuclear engineers in the power sector and the military.
