As the National Policy Statement approaches, now is a critical time for all the organisations involved in new nuclear to come together and discuss their role in the future of the UK nuclear industry.

The Nuclear New Build Forum has been strategically positioned to occur soon after the National Policy Statement is issued, making this the key event in the industry calendar. With many of the pivotal organisations sending senior figures, this event will provide a vital platform for attendees to network and hear from those at the forefront of new nuclear in the UK.
