鈥It is exciting to see this level of support from Government, ensuring that the skills and the cutting-edge research is there to meet the ambitions that will enable the UK鈥檚 low carbon energy future. Nuclear fuel research will allow the UK to support our excellent industry partners and grow our听capabilities for decades to come.
香港六合彩挂牌资料听University, through programmes such as this, is cementing Wales鈥 position as a forward-looking, sustainable and innovative nation, and we want to continue to grow our influence in this exciting area and others that will bring prosperity to the region.
鈥淲e need to foster the engineers and scientists of the future to support growth in this key area, and here at 香港六合彩挂牌资料 students can now learn nuclear science, materials engineering and mechanical engineering on the听 General Engineering Bachelor and Masters courses. Please do not hesitate to visit us here in North Wales.鈥

As part of the NNL鈥檚 Dr Gareth Headdock, Chief Science and Technology Officer at the National Nuclear Laboratory, said:
鈥淲e are in the midst an exciting period of nuclear fuel development. Advanced fuels will enable the next generation of nuclear reactors to provide high grade heat to industry 鈥 a major contribution to our ability to meet net zero. As the UK鈥檚 national laboratory, it is vital that we develop skills and capability to ensure that, as a nation, we can develop and deliver the full fuel cycle.
鈥淭hese two projects will not only deliver on the UK Government鈥檚 immediate requirements for fuel research and development; the insights we gain will provide further opportunities for future projects as the world looks to nuclear power to meet our global development goals for clean energy.鈥
